About the author :
Yona Friedman (1923-2020) was one of the most innovative architectural thinkers of the twentieth century. A survivor of the Second World War, he devoted much of his career to promoting forms of architecture that would give greater freedom and responsibility to ordinary citizens.
Why this book is unusual :
This book challenges the traditional idea that cities should be designed exclusively by architects and planners. Instead, Friedman proposes an adaptable urban environment shaped directly by its inhabitants.
Why this book remains relevant today :
Current debates on housing, sustainable cities, citizen participation and flexible urban environments make Friedman's ideas remarkably topical more than half a century after their formulation.
