Well written and informative.
7 May 2015Helped me in urban design, a lot.
I read one of the review that compared this to Jane Jacob's Death and Life of Great American Cities and that review thought the latter is better.

17 August 2014Relevance to current context?
Image of the City first introduced in 1960, is seminal to perceptual imagery of a cityscape via five elements, namely, paths, landmarks, nodes, edges, and districts.
10 July 2014but it ended up being very useful and changed the way I view the city grid ...
This book was a little slow at first, but it ended up being very useful and changed the way I view the city grid as a whole.
24 May 2013Only purchased because it was highly recommended by NCARB . . .
However, I did not find this book to be helpful at all.
28 February 2013Please understand: THIS IS A CLASSIC
I can´t believe many customers / readers rate: 3 stars because \"it is outdated\".
26 October 2012Really interesting book
Lynch's methodology is really fascinating- he was basically the pioneer of mental mapping and this research method shows up quite well in his piece.
