Résumé:

"Decolonizing the Built Environment: Pedagogy and Process provides an important and much-needed comprehensive overview of how decolonisation is shaping the built environment in theory, practice, and as a process/project today. Chapters provide an inclusive and trans-national conversation between a diverse set of academics, design practitioners and thinkers, and activists. This book is structured around three thematic and practical categories: part one studies decolonization conceptually; part two studies decolonisation as a process; and part three studies the products of decolonisation - as materialized in the form of buildings, urban design, planning, policy, and social practices. Essential reading for students, teachers, and practitioners, this book presents the project of decolonisation as a pedagogy and an ongoing process"-- Provided by publisher.
