Cities affect every person's life, yet across the traditional
divides of class, age, gender and political affiliation, armies of
people are united in their dislike of the transformations that
cities have undergone in recent times. The physical form of the
urban environment is not a designer add-on to 'real' social issues;
it is a central aspect of the social world. Yet in many people's
experience, the cumulative impacts of recent urban development have
created widely un-loved urban places. To work towards better-loved
urban environments, we need to understand how current problems have
arisen and identify practical action to address them.
Urban Transformations examines the crucial issues relating to how
cities are formed, how people use these urban environments and how
cities can be transformed into better places. Exploring the links
between the concrete physicality of the built environment and the
complex social, economic, political and cultural processes through
which the physical urban form is produced and consumed, Ian Bentley
proposes a framework of ideas to provoke and develop current debate
and new forms of practice.
