Inclusive Urban Design: Streets for Life

摘要

In the foreword to Inclusive Urban Design, Mary Marshall describes this book as "a brave and rare attempt" to address the dearth of research on people with dementia's experiences of and needs when negotiating their local streets. Brave and rare not only in its engagement with a much-neglected area of study, but also in its utility to a number of audiences and in its commitment to making these audiences understand the daily issues to be faced by our ageing population. The authors provide a book which will not only be of interest to academics in a number of disciplines, but which is accessible to students and offers practitioners in urban design key principles translated into practical proposals underpinned by a thorough explanation as to how the authors came to their conclusions.
