4.0 out of 5 stars A challenging vision for the future of cities, 25 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Richard Rogers, one of Britain's leading architects vividly outlines the environmental disaster facing the world, and presents some novel solutions for planning and building cities to overcome the barriers.
Of particular interest are the ideas for energy conservation, the use of public space to enhance the public environment, and the ways to integrate public transport into city design.
There is a scathing attack on urban sprawl and its wasteful use of land and resources, and a vision of high density cities, combining efficiency with an effective community.
One slight weakness of the book is the price to pay for its wide coverage - there is a lack of detail on some of the proposals, and diagrams are sometimes weak on annotations.
Also recommended: Cities for a Small Country - focusing more on the problems facing Britain, rather than the world as a whole, particularly the developing countries.
