Summary:

"International Exhibitions and Urbanism provides an insightful and comprehensive historical review of international exhibitions in its first half, which is then illustrated with a thorough technical analysis of the Zaragoza 2008 project in its second half. The first half offers a comparative analysis of nearly 50 events which haven taken place over the past 150 years, as well as exploring the relationships with urbanism from a planning perspective. Underpinned by the first-hand information that the author has as one of the event's organizers the second half is devoted to the Zaragoza project for the 2008 Exposition. After giving contextual (historical and demographic) information, the Expo's master plan and building projects are then described."--Publisher's description.
