| Summary: | City Riffs traces the changing perspectives of urban design within an ever-changing global context. Moving between sixteen cities, the book also considers transdisciplinary aspects of urbanism, formal and informal growth in Kumasi and Caracas, post-colonial structures in New Delhi and Prague, post-urban phenomena in Detroit and Brussels, cultural transitions in Antwerp and Salzburg, the changing nature of place in Seoul and Mostar and new ecological realities in New York and Rome. Urbanism is viewed as the production of space-integrating aspects of design, ecology and engineering, as well as other influences on urban cognition such as social, economical and psychological interactions. As it covers a wide range of places and methods, this book will be an asset to anyone who works on, lives in or thinks about cities. |
