Description
City Riffs explores how urban design has evolved in response to changing global contexts. Spanning sixteen cities, this book examines diverse approaches to urbanism, from formal and informal growth patterns to post-colonial structures and new ecological realities.
The book considers the interplay between various disciplines of urbanism, including design, ecology, engineering, social, economic, and psychological factors. As a result, it offers valuable insights for anyone involved in or interested in city planning and development.
