Legible City Structure
Kevin Lynch
Cities should have a clear and easily readable structure to help people form effective mental maps of the environment.
Context
Urban planning and design of new or existing city areas.
Problem
A city with a confusing layout hinders navigation and reduces the ability of residents and visitors to connect with their environment.
Solution
Design cities with identifiable paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks to create a legible structure.
