Who makes our cities, and what part do everyday users have in the
design of cities? This book powerfully shows that city-making is a
social process and examines the close relationship between the
social and physical shaping of urban environments. With cities
taking a growing share of the global population, urban forms and
urban experience are crucial for understanding social injustice,
economic inequality and environmental challenges. Current processes
of urbanization too often contribute to intensifying these
problems; cities, likewise, will be central to the solutions to
such problems. Focusing on a range of cities in developed and
developing contexts, Cities by Design highlights major aspects of
contemporary urbanization: urban growth, density and
sustainability; inequality, segregation and diversity; informality,
environment and infrastructure. Offering keen insights into how the
shaping of our cities is shaping our lives, Cities by Design
provides a critical exploration of key issues and debates that will
be invaluable to students and scholars in sociology and geography,
environmental and urban studies, architecture, urban design and
planning.
