Among a variety of design principles this book suggests that walkability is the fundamental principle to improving quality of life. A walkable city provides a convenient and comfortable walking and cycling environment for all local residents. This book attempts to explore the design innovation to create a walkable city and propose solutions within the high-density cities - Shenzhen and Shanghai. Selected cases include an urban village in Shenzhen and the CBD and a workers' community in Shanghai as different spatial samples to apply specific design strategies for a livable, healthy, and sustainable city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tongji University Press Co., Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059005341936,"sku":"9787560872155","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9787560872155_p0.jpg?v=1763722594","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9787560872155","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
