Unprecedented in its scope, Cross-Cultural Urban Design: Global or
Local Practice? explores how urban design has responded to recent
trends towards global standardisation. Following analysis of its
practice in the local domain, the book looks at how urban planning
and design should be repositioned for the future. It looks at:
population; movement; urbanization; suburbanization; tourism;
commercialization; environmental degradation; and, flows of
capital. Mapping out how urban practitioners, researchers and
educators are currently responding to these issues in their work,
this volume presents and discusses cases and theories of urbanism
from across the globe. Contributions are framed in three sections:
re-conceptualising the city; presenting ways to read the
contemporary city and re-think work within it; experiments in
practice; presenting and discussing case studies where
practitioners have confronted new conditions; and, learning
cross-cultural urban design; presenting and discussing learning as
a field of research and its contribution to practice. A unique
collection, Cross-cultural Urban Design outlines a new way of
thinking about urban design within the complex context of the
contemporary world and points a way forward - as a cross-cultural
practice that supports and develops sustainability.
