Making Places for People delves into 12 critical social issues that are essential to environmental design. Authors Christie Johnson Coffin and Jenny Young present viewpoints from both practice and teaching to challenge preconceived notions about how places fulfill human needs. In this revised and expanded second edition, the authors further investigate the intricacies of fundamental questions such as: What is the story of this place? What logic governs it? How large is it? How sustainable is it? They examine the impact of pandemics, climate change, human migration, and contemporary discussions of diversity, equity, and justice on the creation of places. The book is composed of short, approachable, and easy-to-read chapters, accompanied by updated examples of projects from across the globe, bringing together theory, methodology, and key research findings. Understanding the experienced and research-based connections between people and built form can inspire designs that create meaningful and delightful spaces. This second edition is a must-read for design students and professionals.
