Abstract: *The Wayfinding Handbook* is a concise guide to the principles and practical implementation of wayfinding systems in the built environment. It explores the discipline’s foundations and evolution, highlighting case studies from cities like New York. The book covers planning strategies focused on user needs, spatial orientation, and context.
