Produktinformationen zu „The Urban Masterplanning Handbook (PDF)“
A highly illustrated reference tool, this handbook provides
comparative visual analysis of major urban extensions and
masterplans around the world. It places an important new emphasis
on the processes and structures that influence urban form,
highlighting the significant impact that public or private
landownership, management and funding might have on shaping a
particular project. Each of the book's 20 subjects is
rigorously analysed through original diagrams, scale drawings and
descriptive texts, which are complemented by key statistics and
colour photography. The case studies are presented in order of size
rather than date or geographical location. This offers design
professionals, developers and city planners, as well as students of
architecture and urban design informed organisational and formal
comparisons, leading to intriguing insights.
A wide geographical range of contemporary and historic
masterplans are featured. These encompass European projects from
the 19th century to the present day: Belgravia in London,
Sarphatipark in Amsterdam, Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, La
Défense Seine Arche in Paris and Hammarby Sjöstad in
Stockholm. In North America, the postwar development of Stuyvesant
Town in Manhattan is also the subject of a case study. More recent
and ongoing international urban schemes are included, such as
Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires, Downtown Dubai and the New Central
Business District in Beijing.
