Summary:

"Contemporary urban design practice has many sources to draw on but these often lack a flexible approach to today's complex urban situations. This book addresses the current debate surrounding urban regeneration and the contradictions of contemporary urban life. The author proposes manageable strategies for the creation of sustainable cities, focusing on the spatial character of the city and looking beyond the style obsession of urban makeovers to the fundamental elements of city-making."--Jacket
