This book explores studies on the nature, acquisition and use of cognitive representations of urban environments. Most of the researchers represented in this volume will be well known to environmental psychologists for their contributions to the field; therefore, this volume also provides a valuable cross-section of the work of key researchers in environmental psychology. This book examines the psychological processes whereby people summarize and distill a rich mixture of exeperiences, recording them in a form that allows future utilization. As such, the volume should be of value not only to environmental psychologists, but to all who are interested in how people make sense of the world around them.
