Abstract: |
The social approach in urbanism appeared as a reaction and critique of Modernism and technocratic planning. The human-centered tradition is part of this social thread and focuses on the human scale, on community participation and on the prioritization of people versus cars. In 1960 the popular ΅:The Image of the City by Kevin Lynch is published, and a year later Jane Jacobs’s ΅:The Death and Life of Great American Cities΅. The social turn in urbanism continues with the works of Whyte, Alexander and Appleyard. From the 1990s and onwards, the human-centered approach enters the “canon” of the urban design discipline, in the form of the Livable Cities / Cities for People paradigm.
