What is "urban"? How can it be described and contextualised? How is
it used in theory and practice? Urban processes feature in key
international policy and practice discourses. They are at the core
of research agendas across traditional academic disciplines and
emerging interdisciplinary fields. However, the concept of "the
urban" remains highly contested, both as material reality and
imaginary construct. The urban remains imprecisely defined.
Defining the Urban is an indispensable guide for the urban
transdisciplinary thinker and practitioner. Parts I and II focus on
how "Academic Disciplines" and "Professional Practices,"
respectively, understand and engage with the urban. Included, among
others, are Architecture, Ecology, Governance and Sociology. Part
III, "Emerging Approaches," outlines how elements from theory and
practice combine to form transdisciplinary tools and perspectives.
Written by eminent experts in their respective fields, Defining the
Urban provides a stepping stone for the development of a common
language-a shared ontology-in the disjointed fields of urban
research and practice. It is a comprehensive and accessible
resource for anyone with an interest in understanding how urban
scholars and practitioners can work together on this complex theme.
