Caracteristici
Whereas most sustainable cities initiatives so far have been technologically-based, this book asks the reader to rethink the very nature of cities today. It is not about creating high-tech new cities - it is about what can be done in existing cities and in the fast-growing future megacities of the developing world

Recenzii
Re-Making Cities is a theoretically rich and compelling read which takes the reader on a thought-provoking journey through discussion on the future of cities. The intended intellectual contribution of the book is made very clear and the structure allows for a clear narrative whilst retaining a comprehensive critical edge.
By scaling up the logic of "re-directive" practice which he first outlined in Design Futuring, Fry offers us here one of the most compelling theses for how to turn our cities into real agents of sustainable change.
Tony Fry showcases the reality of the dramatic and unquestionable changes which will befall our cities, our nations, our planet, unless we adapt sufficiently to fast-changing circumstances.
