«A imagem da cidade» is the classic essay by Kevin Lynch published by Edições 70 in paperback (208 pages, in Portuguese).
Kevin Lynch studies how inhabitants perceive and mentally organize the city, and explains that its visual form conditions the urban experience. He introduces concepts such as paths, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks to analyze the legibility of the landscape, and argues that an urban space should have a human, lively and memorable image.
Reference work for architects, urban planners and designers interested in the legibility of urban space.
Kevin Andrew Lynch was an American urban planner and author. He is known for his work on the perceptual form of urban environments and was an early proponent of mental mapping. His most influential books include The Image of the City (1960), a seminal work on the perceptual form of urban environments, and What Time is This Place? (1972), which theorizes how the physical environment captures and refigures temporal processes.
