Taking on the key issues in urban design, Shaping the City examines
the critical ideas that have driven these themes and debates
through a study of particular cities at important periods in their
development. As well as retaining crucial discussions about cities
such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and
Brasilia at particular moments in their history that exemplified
the problems and themes at hand like the mega-city, the
post-colonial city and New Urbanism, in this new edition the
editors have introduced new case studies critical to any study of
contemporary urbanism - China, Dubai, Tijuana and the wider issues
of informal cities in the Global South. The book serves as both a
textbook for classes in urban design, planning and theory and is
also attractive to the increasing interest in urbanism by scholars
in other fields. Shaping the City provides an essential overview of
the range and variety of urbanisms and urban issues that are
critical to an understanding of contemporary urbanism.
