Description:
The corporate downtown, with its multitude of social dilemmas and contradictions, is the focus of this well-illustrated volume. How are downtown projects conceived, scripted, produced, packaged, and used, and how has all this changed during the twentieth century? The authors of Urban Design Downtown explore the poetics of design and the politics and economics of development decisions, offering a critical appraisal of the emerging appearance and design of downtown urban form.
