Georgia Tech Professor Michael Dobbins will discuss his book “Urban Design and People” tomorrow at the Barnes and Noble bookstore on 5th Street.

The details:

When: Friday, Aug. 28 at 6:30 p.m.
Where: Barnes & Noble @ Georgia Tech, Fifth and Spring Streets, downtown Atlanta.

About the book: The book offers an introduction to the field of urban design, and provides an overview of how to implement urban design work.

Dobbins has been widely quoted in Atlanta publications in the past few years as the city has been attempting to re-make itself into the urban environment it should be.

I’d love to go to the event and find everyone in city government and every bigwig in the development community there!

Just a suggestion: go listen to his talk and then eat at Social on West Peachtree Place! In other words, discuss urban design and then live it (Social is like a little piece of France in downtown Atlanta).
