  abstract: Making Places for People explores twelve social questions crucial to environmental design. Christie Johnson Coffin and Jenny Young bring perspectives from practice and teaching to challenge assumptions about how places meet human needs. In this second edition, the authors retain the core of the book while placing more emphasis on human well-being, sustainability and equity and justice. They continue to explore the complexities of basic questions, such as what is the story of this place? What logic orders it? How sustainable is it? Short, approachable, easy-to-read chapters blend theory, methodology and key research findings. Examples from architecture, interior architecture, community design, landscape architecture and urban design illustrate key concepts. Reflecting on the shifting connections between built form and human use, this updated and expanded edition further tackles the impact of COVID, climate change, human migration and contemporary discussions of diversity, equity and inclusion in the built world. Additional new examples of social architecture and urban design from around the world illustrate the benefits of pursuing social goals in creative design practice. Coffin and Young expand on how critical understanding of the relationships between people and their built environments can inspire designs that better contribute to health, human performance, ecology and social equity. This second edition will be essential reading for design students and professionals.
