Title: not sure about this one ...
Review: not sure about this one ... nasers construct of "likability" glosses over many important issues and is highly incomplete. he writes: "the evaluative image represents a psychological construct that involves subjective assessments of feelings about the environment. this suggests that the evaluative image contains two kinds of variables: visual aspects of city form and human evaluative responses."really? visual variables are the only ones that determine how we feel about an environment? what about sounds? what about climate and temperature? the sub-categories of "likeable" urban features are also highly stereotypical - "naturalness", "historical significance".I agree with the main point, though. in the age of hyperlocal media, the approach to study the urban environment by analyzing emotional responses does have relevance. however, this book does not offer a lot of insight in this respect, and seems a bit dated in its methods.
Is the review positive or negative?
