This new edition of Kevin Lynch's widely used introductory textbook has been completely revised; and is also enriched by the experience of Lynch's coauthor, Gary Hack. For over two decades, Site Planning has remained the only comprehensive source of information on all the principal activities and concerns of arranging the outdoor physical environment. Now, new illustrations double the visual material and one hundred pages of new appendixes cover special techniques, provide references to more detailed technical sources, and put numerical standards in a concise form.
An introduction summarizes the site planning process. This is followed by a case study of a typical professional project and ten chapters which provide new materials on user analysis, programming, site planning for built places, housing tenures and their planning implications, cost estimating, mapping, the reading of air photographs, site design for housing in developing countries, design strategies, environmental impact analyses, and many others—all illustrated with in-text photographs and line drawings and with Lynch's characteristic marginal sketches.
Oct 02, 2018 Site Planning will be the new go-to book for those wishing to advance sustainable, ethical urban design and development without sacrificing crucial causes or value. It is a book that Kevin Lynch (who wrote the original edition more than fifty years ago) would be proud of.

Dominique rated it it was amazing
Shelves: readandloved
this was the first kevin lynch book i ever read. every other planning student reads 'the image of the city' which is all well and good. but this is a more practical book, in my opinion. i learned from it, whereas after 'image' i was like, 'yeah, urban design is kewl 'n stuff, fer shure.' i didn't take it as seriously. 'site planning' made me realize that urban design and form are crucial in planning. and made me realize that focusing on the big picture all the time is horrendous in the end.
It was a good read, but a lot of this material is verbose. This book can be condensed into a 15 page manual.
