This book focuses on the spatial character of the city. A brief
survey of the history of urban development leads to the proposal of
a methodology for the design of urban space, concentrating on the
relationship of four elements: patterns, narratives, monuments and
spaces.
The book addresses the current debate regarding urban regeneration
through the proposal of a flexible framework for the analysis of
urban context and the integration of new interventions to create
sustainable cities. This work draws on the dual expertise of
historical research and design experience.
Although contemporary practice in urbanism has many sources of
design guidelines it lacks a theory which provides a flexible
approach to the complexities of most urban situations. This book
aims to provide a theoretical framework which looks beyond the
style obsession of urban makeovers to the fundamental elements of
city-making. The book will feature historical analysis, theoretical
coherence, contemporary case studies, good illustrations and a
physical context for citizenship.
