Cities Without Cities - An Interpretation of the Zwischenstadt (Hardcover, English language ed): Thomas Sieverts Cities Without Cities - An Interpretation of the Zwischenstadt (Hardcover, English language ed)
Thomas Sieverts
R4,636 Discovery Miles 46 360 Ships in 10 - 15 working days


This book investigates the characteristics of today's built environment: no longer simply a city but increasingly large conurbations made up of a number of development clusters, linked by transport routes. The diffusion of the once compact city into a city web, the 'meta city' is mirrored by changes in society from communities with strong social cohesion and interest in their towns and cities to individuals pursing their own goals, with global social links and little interest in their city.

Cities Without Cities - An Interpretation of the Zwischenstadt (Paperback, English language ed): Thomas Sieverts Cities Without Cities - An Interpretation of the Zwischenstadt (Paperback, English language ed)
Thomas Sieverts
R1,661 Discovery Miles 16 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days


This book investigates the characteristics of today's built environment: no longer simply a city but increasingly large conurbations made up of a number of development clusters, linked by transport routes. The diffusion of the once compact city into a city web, the 'meta city' is mirrored by changes in society from communities with strong social cohesion and interest in their towns and cities to individuals pursuing their own goals, with global social links and little interest in their own town or city other than the quality of their personal space.
The account is complex and on a number of levels; social, philosophical, economic and environmental. The difficulties in managing or even controlling the city web, divided arbitrarily into areas of limited size and political power, are enormous. Areas compete with each other rather than co-operate. The book provides a better understanding of this new type of urban form and argues for a change in planning systems for better management.
