The demos disintegrates into bits of human capital; concerns with justice bow to the mandates of growth rates, credit ratings, and investment climates; liberty submits to the imperative of human capital appreciation; equality dissolves into market competition; and popular sovereignty grows incoherent. Liberal democratic practices may not survive these transformations. Radical democratic dreams may not either.

Résumé:
In this illustrated volume, Andrew Higgott demonstrates how architectural books and journals have created twentieth century architectural culture in Britain. Mediating Modernism discusses the publications, language and images which, in the act of 'describing', 'interpreting' or 'illustrating' the architecture, have created it in architectural discourse.

Computational models of urbanism — smart cities that use data-driven planning and algorithmic administration — promise to deliver new urban efficiencies and conveniences. Yet these models limit our understanding of what we can know about a city. 'A City Is Not a Computer' reveals how cities encompass myriad forms of local and indigenous intelligences and knowledge institutions, arguing that these resources are a vital supplement and corrective to increasingly prevalent algorithmic models.
