Pedestrian Bridges

"Pedestrian bridges are primarily functional, but they should also respond to the special features of their sites, route trajectories, topography and contexts. Their presence in public spaces offers an opportunity not only to connect separate areas with each other, but also to confer a unique identity on the immediate environment. Creating a good pedestrian bridge requires a high level of design sensitivity, especially if the bridge is in an inner-city area or a special landscape ... This book provides an overview of current trends in pedestrian bridge construction."--Publisher description.
