Resumo de The Image Of The City

The workmanship, the image of city, is the result of a pilot study that describ and it analyzes tree american different cities - Boston, LA and Jersey city - from the interpretation that of them makes a certain number of the inhabitants of each city. The ?registes images? had been referenciadas in a set of five main elements considered estruturantes in the representation of the city: the ways, that they assure the connection between a point and another one; the limits, that they represent the border between zones of the city that have a distinct existence; the marker points, buildings, statues, parks, that they constitute the identifiable places and that generically they inform the system of orientation in a city; the crossings, intersecção points, of ticket of an activity for another one (the station of the convoys and the metropolitan, the airport) finally, the quarters essentially demarcated by the recognition of carácter homogéneo.

We apprehend, therefore, the city for parts and in this process our mind holds back the memories and the meanings most important, that more in they mark them throughout the life, in some way associating them it the space that supports these events physically; thus relations with parts of the city are established, which if they transform into most significant.
