520 _a"City Transformed is about the new urbanism which is certain to be an increasingly potent element in world architecture in the 21st century. It contains a selection of key projects, dating from the 1990s to the millenium and beyond, which exemplify the renaissance of the urban ideal and the rebirth of an architectural programme for the city." "The book is divided into four sections, dealing with, respectively, urban regeneration, urban extension, transport, and cultural developments. The projects are prefaced by an introductory essay in which the author pinpoints the historical causes and symptoms of current urban problems, outlines the views of critics and reformers, and discusses the ways in which cities and architects around the world are trying to bring about change and improvement." "Projects range widely both geographically and in scale, from the relatively smallscale Royal Opera House redevelopment in London to the dramatic restructuring of government and transport areas in Kuala Lumpur. In covering these 25 international projects, the book considers every aspect of urban life - transport, culture, housing, commerce and government. Internationally renowned architects include Foster & Partners, Renzo Piano, Rem Koolhaas, Terry Farrell, Richard Meier, Tadao Ando and Kisho Kurokawa." - Front cover.
