WRITING URBANISM
Urban design continues to grow and mature as a field of study, research, and
professional endeavour. This e collection of both invited and pub-
lished essays is panoramically broad prehensive in its scope. Com-
bining essays from both practice and academia, this volume includes some
of the most significant texts on urban design from the last two decades, a
period of transformational growth in the field and exponential growth in the
metropolis.
Writing Urbanism asks how cities can e more coherent, sustain-
able, authentic, and equitable, as well as pelling and cul-
turally meaningful. The essays probe such issues munity, social
equity, design theory, technology, and globalism. How does a rapidly
urbanizing and polarizing world embrace these and other issues, and how
can urban design translate them into consequential and workable urban
form?
By assembling a range of voices across different institutions and gener-
ations, Writing Urbanism offers the most multifaceted portrait of urban
design today. Scholars, students, and design professionals alike will find this
collection to be a useful resource for understanding this increasingly
important design field and for insights into the forces that shape the city
itself.
