Concrete Cities : Why We Need to Build Differently Paperback / softback
by Rob (Visiting Professor in Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.) Imrie
Paperback / softback
Description
This accessible critique of urban construction reimagines city development and life in an era of unprecedented building. Exploring the proliferation of building and construction, Imrie sets out its many degrading impacts on both people and the environment.
Using examples from around the world, he illustrates how construction is motivated by economic and political ideologies rather than actual need, and calls for a more sensitive, humane and nature-focused culture of construction.
This compelling book calls for radical changes to city living and environments by building less, but better.
