Summary:
***ÉPUISÉE / OUT OF PRINT*** "Cities in transition" deals with the effects of globalization and internationalization in relation to urbanism and critical assessment in contemporary theory. The book brings together internationally known authors from many countries including England, the USA, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan and the Netherlands. A diversity of critical positions on spatial and social questions is discussed on an international level. The theme of globalization is queried concerning the relation of urban and port developments in Tokyo's Bay Area and in Rotterdam. Cities have historically allowed the coming about of national economies, politics and societies we can think of as centralized. In several contributions this aspect is examined from the viewpoint of the flâneur, a creature of the metropolis, Parisian above all. As for their present day economic function, cities provide agglomeration economies, with a massive concentration of information on the latest developments. The book argues for a new reflexivity related to both economic and cultural understanding of our world. Cities in Transition is the third volume in the "Stylos critical landscape" series, issued by the Faculty of architecture of Delft university of technology.

Summary:
Picking up where his best-selling City of Bits left off, Mitchell argues that we must extend the definitions of architecture and urban design to encompass virtual places as well as physical ones, and interconnection by means of telecommunication links as well as by pedestrian circulation and mechanized transportation systems. He proposes strategies for the creation of cities that not only will be sustainable but will make economic, social, and cultural sense in an electronically interconnected and global world. The new settlement patterns of the twenty-first century will be characterized by live/work dwellings, 24-hour pedestrian-scale neighborhoods rich in social relationships, and vigorous local community life, complemented by far-flung configurations of electronic meeting places and decentralized production, marketing, and distribution systems. Neither digiphile nor digiphobe, Mitchell advocates the creation of e-topias--cities that work smarter, not harder.

Urban Visions presumes that understanding our urban experience is a prerequisite for envisioning what it could be; radically, they might be the same. This book accepts that visions—more articulate currently in disciplines and media other than architecture and planning—need not always be heroic or grand.

Summary:
Urban Visions presumes that understanding our urban experience is a prerequisite for envisioning what it could be; radically, they might be the same. This book accepts that visions—more articulate currently in disciplines and media other than architecture and planning—need not always be heroic or grand. But our experience of the city does occur in something that is designed—be it by architects, planners, or more often and anonymously by larger societal or cultural forces. It is an intricate construction in which physical, cultural, commercial, historical, ideological, and personal presences can coincide. In assembling work by distinguished authors from different disciplines and countries, Urban Visions puts forth a patient examination of what urban experience is and of the city’s necessity, with explicit and implicit propositions about what it could be.
