Urban Grids: Handbook for Regular City Design is the result of a
five-year design research project undertaken by professor Joan
Busquets and Dingliang Yang at the Harvard Graduate School of
Design. The research that is the foundation for this publication
emphasizes the value of open forms for city design, a publication
that specifically insists that the grid has the unique capacity to
absorb and channel urban transformation flexibly and productively.
Urban Grids analyzes cities and urban projects that utilize the
grid as the main structural device for allowing rational
development, and goes further to propose speculative design
projects capable of suggesting new urban paradigms drawn from the
grid as a design tool. Consisting of six major parts, it is divided
into the following topics: 1) the atlas of grid cities, 2) grid
projects through history, 3) the 20th-century dilemma, 4) the atlas
of contemporary grid projects, 5) projective tools for the future,
and 6) goodgrid city as an open form coping with new urban issues.
