Summary:
Beginning with an overview of global urbanization patterns, particularly the entropic forces that exacerbate poverty, increase violence, and discourage democratic life in peripheral areas, "The Prospect of Cities" goes on to address specific contemporary issues. These range in subject and scale from the impact of transnational migration on global cities whose populations are at least 30 percent of foreign origin to the critical importance of everyday life, as it is experienced on the streets and in neighborhoods, for a full understanding of urban planning. The final chapter traces the author's evolution as a theorist of city-regional development and planning, deepening the perspective mapped out over the course of the volume and providing new insight into the study of the urban landscape in a global environment.

The German landscape architect's planning group Valentien intend the garden that they are constructing, for Chenshan (Hill Chen) in the Song Jiang District of Shanghai (just outside the city center), to be such a gesture, as well as a model of plant conservation and scientific research development-and one of Shanghai's most ambitious landmarks. The project is enormous, and informed throughout by the architects' ecological imperatives: Energy-saving technologies are to be utilized in the garden's buildings (greenhouses, laboratories and education center) and renewable materials will be deployed throughout.

Summary:
From building blocks to city blocks, an eye-opening exploration of how children's playthings and physical surroundings affect their development. What do youngsters lose when seesaws are deemed too dangerous and slides are designed primarily for safety? How can the built environment help children cultivate self-reliance? Alexandra Lange reveals the surprising histories behind the human-made elements of our children's pint-size landscape. Her fascinating investigation shows how the seemingly innocuous universe of stuff affects kids' behavior, values, and health, often in subtle ways. And she reveals how years of decisions by toymakers, architects, and urban planners have helped--and hindered--American youngsters' journeys toward independence. Seen through Lange's eyes, everything from the sandbox to the street becomes vibrant with buried meaning.

It brings together a collection of essays which Kuma wrote after disasters such as the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City on 9/11 and the earthquake and tsunami that obliterated much of the built landscape on Japan’s northern shore in a matter of minutes in 2011. Asking if we have been building in a manner that is too self-confident or arrogant, he examines architecture’s intrinsic- and often problematic- relationship to the powerful forces of contemporary politics, economics, consumerism, and technology, as well as its vital ties to society.

Eminent domain disputes rage on, despite recent Supreme Court decisions. Outdated public housing and failed single-function projects litter the landscape. Addressing these urgent problems and debating the public's role in urban planning, the contributors to Urban Planning Today report on real projects in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York, Omaha, Portland, and Vancouver. They bring varying, and sometimes divergent, perspectives from backgrounds in urban design and development, city and regional planning, criticism, and law to bear on the mixed bag of results observed in these cities.

Trained as an architect and having a close involvement with landscape heritage protection issues, MacLean’s pictures record the universal history of town and countryside, and raise the issue of the landscape’s future. Here he turns his camera on the colourful, exhilarating world of America at play. From the beauty of perfectly symmetric sports stadiums to the spaghetti-like tangles of theme parks to picnickers on a stretch of splendid beach, he illuminates how we inhabit the land and the potential for modern planning to create spectacular environments. Susan Yelavich contributes the telling introduction.

In which ways does a 'green building' contribute to the ecology of its surroundings? And how can ecologically designed urban districts, with their green and blue networks, link up with the elements and technologies of building design? These are questions of concept, of planning, of design and not least of experience. All these dimensions of 'green building' are investigated in this book with essays and case studies, in a collaboration of a research team with architects, urbanists and landscape designers – in an effort to understand and evaluate some of the most recent and innovative Dense+Green Cities in Asia, the Americas and Europe.

These reports focus on European Architecture both in the city and the noncity. Embracing Alighiero Boetti's accumulation of every existing Form in his seminal Tutto tapestry works in the 1980s, we tried to be both omnivorous and precise in our approach towards every single form to be found on the landscape. This heterogeneous collection includes projects by Raphael, Nouvel, Bofill and Mendrisio Accademia di Architettura students alike. Ultimately, our aim is to accumulate cultural displays without prejudice, in the belief that the only way to safeguard culture, and by extension architecture, is simply by producing it.
