Urban Transformation

Understanding City Form and Design

Beschreibung

In articulating new ways of viewing urban areas and how they develop over time, Peter Bosselmann offers a stimulating guidebook for students and professionals engaged in urban design, planning, and architecture. By looking through Bosselmann's eyes (aided by his analysis of numerous color photos and illustrations) readers will learn to "see" cities anew. His hope is that, with the fresh vision he offers, readers will be empowered to offer inventive new solutions to familiar urban problems.
