Abstract

A comienzos de los años sesenta se editaron tres de los libros más influyentes dedicados al análisis y al diseño de la ciudad: The Image of the City de Kevin Lynch [Lynch 1960], Townscape de Gordon Cullen [Cullen 1961], y The Death and Life of Great American Cities de Jane Jacobs [Jacobs 1961]. Los tres libros contenían una crítica al planeamiento urbano llevado a cabo tras la segunda guerra mundial, proponiendo una nueva manera de entender la ciudad y de intervenir en ella [1].
