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.
