Opis

This volume mixes the experience of particular urban places with a more general discourse about the nature of urbanism today. Well-known urbanists are asked to look at 16 cities around the world and the different ways they are changing and discuss their vision for the future. Interleaved throughout the book, are short theoretical pieces on issues relating to urban change written by leading urban theorists, offering a series of critical perspectives. This book links practical examples and theory through its highly accessible visual and writing style. It provides a stimulating source of ideas and vision for both student, practitioner and the general reader."
