City-making is an art, not a formula. The skills required to
re-enchant the city are far wider than the conventional ones like
architecture, engineering and land-use planning. There is no
simplistic, ten-point plan, but strong principles can help send
good city-making on its way. The vision for 21st century cities
must be to be the most imaginative cities for the world rather than
in the world. This one change of word - from 'in' to 'for' - gives
city-making an ethical foundation and value base. It helps cities
become places of solidarity where the relations between the
individual, the group, outsiders to the city and the planet are in
better alignment.Following the widespread success of The Creative
City, this new book, aided by international case studies, explains
how to reassess urban potential so that cities can strengthen their
identity and adapt to the changing global terms of trade and mass
migration. It explores the deeper fault-lines, paradoxes and
strategic dilemmas that make creating the 'good city' so difficult.
