"The successful urban space is a dynamic and complex blend of the rational and the irrational, the planned and the unintentional. This statement, plus his premise that the quality of life in the modern city is proportional to the quality of people's experiences of urban spaces, are the basis of architect David Specter's belief that that quality depends upon predictable and positive values. By means of the fascinating photographs he has made both here and in Europe, complemented by perceptive commentaries, Specter arms the layman with a new analytical sensitivity to the elements that go to make up the pedestrian urban space and suggests to other designers that the subtle factors which create urban amenities can be manipulated, planned for. Lighting, newsstands, shops, fences, bollards, walls, water, reflections, surface decoration, graphics, cafés, shelters, vantage points - these are but some of the elements David Specter illuminates in word and photograph. Often it is the subtle psychological effect of one or another of them that is its most important aspect.
