Description
This series of essays outlines a number of case studies from Europe, North America, Australia and Asia and provides first hand accounts

of the challenges and constraints posed by changing patterns of urban growth in a broad spectrum of urban environments. The reader will
discover, through these multiple voices and views, the diverse forms of global cities, and will have a grasp of where the debate on urban
design stands today, and where it may be going in the future.
