Synopsis
This book's case studies of individual West Coast downtown projects capture the essence of late 20th-century urbanism with its multitude of social dilemmas and contradictions. The authors explore both the poetics of design and the politics and economics of development decisions. 98 photos. 26 line illustrations. 23 maps., 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 offer a critical appraisal of the emerging appearance of downtown urban form. They explore both the poetics of design and the politics and economics of development decisions. Following a historical review of the various phases of downtown transformation, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris and Tridib Banerjee turn to contemporary American downtowns. They examine the phenomenon of public-space privatization, arguing that corporate open spaces are the consumer-oriented result of policies that have promoted downtown renovation and restructuring but at the same time have neglected the cities' existing poverty-stricken cores. The book's case studies of individual West Coast downtown projects capture the essence of late twentieth-century urbanism. This analysis of downtown urban America, which offers extensive insight into the design and development process, will interest architects, city planners, developers, and urban designers everywhere.

    Not only did the seller work with me the seller packaged the books perfectly especially since they were being shipped to Michigan, and it was snowing. He insured that the books would not be damaged. Seller went out of his way would definitely do business with him again. Highly recommended The books were exactly how they were described and the value of these books are not only monetarily. priceless but also very dear to a collector.

    The book was carefully packed in bubble wrap, and then protected in a shipping box stuffed with brown paper. I asked the seller to help me protect the dust cover of the book as I'm fussy about receiving the book in good condition. The seller exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommended eBayer!!! Please buy from them! They are awesome!
