Description

"Cities, Design & Evolution offers and engaging and original narrative that interprets planning philosophies from Modernism to New Urbanism, organic theories from Patrick Geddes to Le Corbusier, and evolutionary thinking from Charles Darwin to Richard Dawkins. The book develops a new evolutionary perspective that recognises both the 'designed' and 'organic nature of cities, and provides a rational and impetus for fresh approaches to urban planning and design."--Jacket.
