Description
Contrary to the pessimistic prognostications of the recent past, the city shows no sign of withering away. Across the globe cities have renewed themselves as places not only to work in, but equally as places to live in and enjoy.
City Transformed examines 'new urbanism' which is certain to be an increasingly potent element in world architecture in the 21st century. It contains a selection of key projects, dating from the 1990s to the millenium and beyond, which exemplify the renaissance of the urban ideal and the rebirth of an architectural programme for the city.
The projects covered in this book range widely in scale and geographically, from the Royal Opera House in London to the dramatic restructuring of goverment and transport areas in Kuala Lumpur. A truly international agenda is covered in this detailed illustrated book.
