I was put on to this book by a professor at USF School of Architecture. It contains not only the history of placemaking but real examples of placemaking and tools in how to achieve the notion of "place." Not only is this a great resource, but it is easy to read and follow along.Highly reccomended!
In my opinion, this is a fine book which details basic current planning principles. There are many photos and many references to built projects. Case studies are a strong point of this fine book.
I found this book to be one of the best out on the topic, of which there are too few at present for such an important topic. The depth and breadth of place-making topics and their coverage makes this a very excellent easy-to-read-and-understand as well as a long-term reference tool. The graphics are very well done. Having recently attended a Harvard program on retail for cities and new towns and urban center given by Bob Gibbs and Terry Shook, I especially found the book right on target. I want to see more of these types of books.
An excellent source of well researched information. Bohl has used excellent case studies used to illustrate the issues.Certainly a valuable read.
