(0 reseñas)
The Image of the City is a 1960 book by American urban theorist Kevin Lynch. The book is the result of a five-year study of Boston, Jersey City and Los Angeles on how observers take in information of the city, and use it to make mental maps. Lynch's conclusion was that people formed mental maps of their surroundings consisting of five basic elements. The book is Lynch's most well-known work, and some compares its importance in city building to Camillo Sitte’s The Art of Building Cities.
