In this brilliant exposition of the many facets of good design, David Pye investigates the scientific nature of function and its tenuous relationship to form. He explores the priority of economy, physical components, and manufacturing technique; and he clarifies the relative utilitarian and aesthetic roles of design. It establishes a basic theory of design where none existed before. Written in a lucid style and in jargon-free language, it is a healthy correction to critiques of the past century. This is a penetrating, provocative and utterly stimulating book that everyone should read—for design is everywhere.

From southern New Hampshire to northern Virginia, from the Atlantic shore to the Appalachian foothills, stretches Megalopolis - the unique urban area that is the focus of this book. This geographical region is the most active crossads on earth for people, ideas, and goods. Professor Gottmann's aim is to give the reader a fundamental understanding of its basic problems and of the subtle interrelationships among the social and economic processes at work in this extradinary region. He does not merely summarize trends or present statistical data. Rather, he analyzes the complex forces have created Megalopolis, and their implications.
