[ebooks] Experimental Irish Theatre: After W.B. Yeats by I. Walsh in Arts-Photography

Description

Here is a book about the practical design of communities and housing in which people can enjoy a good quality of life; free from crime and fear of crime.Recognising that crime; vandalism and anti-social behaviour are issues of high public concern; and that the driving forces behind crime are numerous; this book argues that good design can help tackle many of these issues. It shows how; through integrating simple crime prevention principles in the design process; it is possible; almost without notice; to make residential environments much safer.Written from the perspective of an architect and town planner; this book offers practical design guidelines through a set of accessible case studies drawn from the UK; USA; The Netherlands and Scandinavia. Each example illustrates how success comes when design solutions reflect local characteristics and where communities are truly sustainable; where residents feel they belong; and where crime is dealt with as part of the bigger picture of urban design.
