Making the commons real People First

摘要

THE MOVEMENT TOWARD MORE people-centric civic design has a new tool to put to work. Last month, the Gehl Institute released "A Mayor's Guide to Public Life"-an inspirational document that showcases breakthrough projects large and small and offers perspective on how to drive such development at the local level. Anyone interested in how we all experience the spaces we move through will find this valuable. Libraries are natural partners in this endeavor, and there are many ideas here to consider applying in the places our libraries touch-whether literally or through partnerships.
