With a practical approach to theory, Designing the City of Reason
offers new perspectives on how differing belief systems and
philosophical approaches impact on city design and development,
exploring how this has changed before, during and after the impact
of modernism in all its rationalism. Looking at the connections
between abstract ideas and material realities, this book provides a
social and historical account of ideas which have emerged out of
the particular concerns and cultural contexts and which inform the
ways we live. By considering the changing foundations for belief
and action, and their impact on urban form, it follows the history
and development of city design in close conjunction with the growth
of rationalist philosophy. Building on these foundations, it goes
on to focus on the implications of this for urban development,
exploring how public infrastructures of meaning are constructed and
articulated through the dimensions of time, space, meaning, value
and action. With its wide-ranging subject matter and distinctive
blend of theory and practice, this book furthers the scope and
range of urban design by asking new questions about the cities we
live in and the values and symbols which we assign to them.
