Twenty-First Century Urbanism: A New Analysis of the City
Autor Rob Sullivanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2020
It proposes that cities operate on a relational, mobile, and phenomenological basis through the mode of efficiency, calibrated by a profoundly complicated division of labor. Its starting point is that the city is a mobile unit of analysis, from its economic status to its demographic makeup, from its cultural configuration to its environmental conditions, and therefore easily evades our quantitative and qualitative methods of computation and comprehension.
Twenty-First Century Urbanism provides planning and urban design academics and students with a multifaceted approach to understanding the development of cities, encouraging the examination of cities through a myriad, non-linear approach.

Recenzii
"How truly different is living in a city from in the countryside? Is it just a question of population density or is it more about the projects and paths that channel everyday life? In other words, are cities truly distinctive "objects," however much one might differ in its layout and phenomenology from another? Are cities changing their shape in response to dominant changes in the workings of the world economy? These are the sorts of questions that animate this book. The author, Rob Sullivan, has interesting responses to all of them. What I like most about the book, however, is his refusal to confuse responses with totalizing answers."
