Résumé :
|
This volume synthesizes past and current, international research on the quality of urban life. It emphasizes the contributions of the urban environment to the overall well-being of residents living in urban areas ranging in scale from small cities and their hinterlands to metropolitan regions. The work emphasizes not only perceptions of and behaviors within urban environments but the actual conditions to which individuals are responding.
