Summary:

"Netzstadt stands for a model. It facilitates the differentiated portrayal of an urban development which has characterized cities and landscapes since the middle of the twentieth century. The model's foundation is the elucidation of criteria of durability and urbanity. Netzstadt stands for a transdisciplinary method by means of which urbanity can be analyzed and evaluated morphologically and physiologically, and redesigned in a process of modernization. Modernization means initiating an intelligent process in a democratic society in order to adapt the 'urban cultural landscape' to the needs of the future. Netzstadt is the title of a text book on designing cities. It addresses students and practitioners in the fields of city planning and city construction, in architecture, engineering and the natural sciences and the social sciences and economics"--Back cover.
