Sinopsis, as a significant item in contemporary town planning, the
promenade demands a case study of its most successful
examples. A place for people to see and be seen, the
promenade is the meeting place where a society’s identity
is constantly reaffirmed. Omission of this in some
urban areas has underlined the need for other public
areas besides gas stations. Thus, a deeply rooted urban
tradition, cutting-edge contemporary planning and
environmental concerns meet in a thrilling new field of
design. Thoroughly documented with large, full color
photographs, plans, sketches and explanatory texts provided
by the contributing architects, this book answers
to the need of professionals or laymen seeking up-todate
knowledge regarding the management of public
space in the city.
