City At Eye Level In The Netherlands

Jeroen Laven

The quality of public space is the backbone of a sustainable city. Great streets, places where you intuitively want to stay longer, interaction between buildings and streets on a human scale, ownership by users, placemaking and good plinths (active ground floors) and a people-centred approach based on the user?s experience ? that?s what 'The City at Eye Level' is all about.0It?s a book, an open-source learning network and a programme for improving cities, streets and places all over the world. 0This edition focuses on recent examples in the Netherlands. This book consists of close to 40 stories. It was written in cooperation with cities, developers and other practitioners.
