Presenting both a history of urban design and a "state-of-the-city" assessment of the current problems in city planning and urban architecture, this volume provides the reader with background material for moving forward with new hybrid tactics that meet the needs of twenty-first century city dwellers. Beginning with an outline of the challenges facing city designers, rapid urbanization, climate change and empowered but diffuse stake holder interests, the work examines the modernist, traditionalist, green and systems based approaches to urban planning in detail, and finally proposes a "fifth way" for moving forward with a holistic amalgam of design ethics that meets the emerging needs of modern city residents. Numerous black and white photographs and planning maps are included. Barnett is an architect and urban designer associated with the Urban Planning Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
