[DOC] It's a Wrap: Sewing Fabric Purses; Baskets; and Bowls by Susan Breier at Arts-Photography

Description

In the last few decades; many European and American cities and towns experienced economic; social and spatial structural change. Strategies for urban regeneration include investments in infrastructures for production; consumption and communication; as well as marketing and branding measures; and urban design schemes. Bringing together leading academics from across a range of disciplines; including Douglas Kelbaugh; Ali Madanipour; Saskia Sassen; Gregory Ashworth; Nan Elin; Emily Talen; and many others; Emergent Urbanism identifies the specific issues dominating todayrsquo;s urban planning and urban design discourse; arguing that urban planning and design not only results from deliberate planning and design measures; but how these combine with infrastructure planning; and derive from economic; social and spatial processes of structural change. Combining explorations from urban planning; urban theory; human geography; sociology; urban design and architecture; the volume provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview; highlighting the complexities of these interactions in space and place; process and design.
