"This book provides a simple but comprehensive framework for the emerging academic discipline of urban design, from its origins in Europe and America, to contemporary issues of imagery, finance and marketing in an age of globalisation"

There is currently no contemporary textbook for urban design that includes a general history and theory of the subject.

Internationally, urban design is more and more becoming a core subject taught in architecture schools. The AIA (US) and the RIBA (UK) both require undergraduates and graduates to study the urban dimension of architectural design. On a wider scale, in Europe, the EU is developing a common architectural curriculum, which includes an urban component for under-graduates. The situation is similar in schools across Asia and Australia.

Aimed at both students and teachers, this book provides a simple and accessible framework, from the origins of urban design and the main techniques developed to deal with the design of fragments of cities, to participatory planning processes, codes, imagery, finance and marketing. Finally, it proposes an innovative vision of contemporary practice based on the work of leading actors and projects in the field.This book is set to become the key textbook at undergraduate and graduate levelsIt is written in an accessible and direct tone, and highly illustrated with many colour and black and white diagramsIt includes a general history and theory of urban design and provides an up-to-date account of contemporary urban conditions

Praise for "Recombinant Urbanism"

""Documents a major intellectual advance...eagerly awaited by academics and" "practitioners all around the world... should become a standard text for schools of" "architecture and urbanism."" Leon Van Schaik, Innovation Professor of Architecture, RMIT, Australia

"" ...both unique and instrumentally positive. The book is the result of many years of research and writing, and is a small masterpiece in urban studies. It has already proved its worth in the teaching of urban studies, at Columbia, the AA, the Bartlett School, and Cooper Union, to mention only a few of the universities where Dr Shane has had a powerful influence...It is, indeed, one of the very best manuscripts I have read in the field in the last few years."" Anthony Vidler, Professor and Dean, Irwin S Chanin School of Architecture, Cooper Union, New York, USA

""I can say without hesitation that I fully endorse Grahame's work...the issues it covers are highly topical and such a book would indeed be widely read by architecture students, urban designers and planners."" Colin Fournier, Professor of Architecture &Urbanism, Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK

""Of great necessity for undergraduate and postgraduate students, scientists and professionals in urban planning and design This] publication will certainly inspire work with city models in a wide range of practice."" Henrik W Jensen, Associate Professor in Town Planning, Aarhus School of Architecture, The Netherlands

""A very important book. Shane ... has made legible and sensible the reams of recent urban discourse for a general college reader. Because of this labor-intensive effort, this book will be accessible by undergrad architecture programs as well as graduate seminars in urban design and planning. Additionally there is a big interest in UD and UP theory in ecology and social science now, and because of Grahame's generous writing style the book will cross over to these other disciplines. ... I can also speak to the international interest in this book; ... again Shane has made important urban theories and thinking more widely available to an international student audience. ... The legacy the book will have (will be in) convincing people that the design of cities matters, not in the overbearing and over-controlling sense of new urbanism, but in reinforcing the multiple possibilities of contemporary life." Brian McGrath, Adjunct Associate Professor of Architecture, Columbia University, USA

The internet and world wide web are revolutionizing many aspects of our lives, and have become an accepted part of socioeconomic experience in developed countries. For entertainment, shopping, banking, establishing friendships, seeking information, and so on, the web is the first port of call for an increasing number of people. A few in education have been quick to see the potential of the web as a platform for delivering a variety of teaching and learning materials. Many more, however, would like to make use of the web, but lack either the time or the skills, or both. Untangled Web provides a guide for those wishing to develop their own teaching and learning resources on the web, whether for local, open or distance learning. By using this book, potential web educators can acquire some of these basic skills and save time by drawing on the experiences of the authors and avoiding the pitfalls and problems that they have encountered. The authors have gained considerable expertise in devising, designing, constructing, testing, adapting and evaluating their own web-based instruction packages which have been developed over a number of years and involve a variety of subject areas. Untangled web is therefore very much focused on practical experience, and while it is primarily aimed at teachers in further and higher education, schoolteachers interested in using the web as a teaching and learning medium will find it useful. Untangled Web has been written by an experienced team from the Department of International Studies at the Nottingham Trent University. David Graham teaches geography and information technology; Jane McNeil is Faculty webmaster and teaches medieval history and information technology; Lloyd Pettiford teaches international relations.Innovative guide to using the web in teaching and learning, providing practical advice for lecturers and teachers on using the web as more than just a support tool
