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.
