"This final book in the series on Urban Design aims to open up the subject to a wider arena. It sets out to explore the nature of therapeutic environment and identify how this can be designed. The first of three parts sets out the theoretical background for health and the therapeutic environment, the second relates this to British radical and philanthropic tradions, and the last extrapolates design principles. Its scope makes it a good primer for those wishing to broaden their understanding og the context for urban design."
