The quality of public space is the backbone of a sustainable city. Great streets, places where you intuitively want to stay longer, interaction between buildings and streets on a human scale, ownership by users, placemaking and good plinths (active ground floors) and a people-centred approach based on the user's experience - that's what The City at Eye Level is all about THE CITY AT EYE LEVEL IN THE NETHERLANDS a book, an open-source learning network and a programme for improving cities, streets and places all over the world. The book focuses on recent examples in the Netherlands and consists of close to 40 stories. It was written in cooperation with cities, developers and other practitioners. STIPO uses the knowledge gathered for this book and in via other projects, to help cities and their partners to develop strategies to create or improve their own great city at eye level.
