Books on Winter Cities Design and Planning

"Northern Cityscape" and "Shaping Cities for Winter"
by Norman Pressman

Norman Pressman's books help resolve many of the problems created by stressful conditions in a variety of northern environments - both urban and rural.

North

Look north more often
Go against the wind
You’ll get redder cheeks
Find the rugged path
Keep to it
It’s shorter
North is best.
Winter’s sky of flames,
Summer nights’ sun miracle
Go against the wind
Climb mountains
Look north
More often
This is a long country
Most is north

Poet:  Rolf Jacobsen
(translated from Norwegian)
Commissioned for the Winter Cities Forum, 1990
Tromso, Norway
