Hardback. New. We tend to think cities look the way they do because of the conscious work of architects planners and builders. But what if the look of cities had less to do with design and more to do with social cultural financial and political processes and the way ordinary citizens interact with them What if the city is a process as much as a design Richard J. Williams takes the moment construction is finished as a beginning tracing the myriad processes that produce the look of the contemporary global city. This book is the story of dramatic but unforeseen urban sights: how financial capital spawns empty towering skyscrapers and hollowed-out ghettoes; how the zoning of once-illicit sexual practices in marginal areas of the city results in the reinvention of culturally vibrant gay villages; how abandoned factories have been repurposed as creative hubs in a precarious postindustrial economy. It is also the story of how popular urban cliches and the fictional portrayal of cities powerfully shape the way we read and see the bricks concrete and glass that surround us. Thought-provoking and original Why Cities Look the Way They Do will appeal to anyone who wants to understand the contemporary city shedding new light on humanity's greatest collective invention. hardcover
