The Form of Cities offers readers a considered theoretical
introduction to the art of designing cities.
- Demonstrates that cities are replete with symbolic values,
collective memory, association and conflict.
- Proposes a new theoretical understanding of urban design, based
in political economy.
- Demonstrates different ways of conceptualising the city,
whether through aesthetics or the prism of gender, for
example.
- Written in an engaging and jargon-free style, but retains a
sophisticated interpretative edge.
- Complements Designing Cities by the same author (Blackwell, 2003).
