關於產品
Product Information
We tend to think cities look the way they do because of the conscious work of architects, planners and builders. But what if the look of cities had less to do with design, and more to do with social, cultural, financial and political processes, and the way ordinary citizens interact with them? What if the city is a process as much as a design? Richard J. Williams takes the moment construction is finished as a beginning, tracing the myriad processes that produce the look of the contemporary global city. This book is the story of dramatic but unforeseen urban sights: how financial capital spawns empty towering skyscrapers and hollowed-out ghettoes; how the zoning of once-illicit sexual practices in marginal areas of the city results in the reinvention of culturally vibrant gay villages; how abandoned factories have been repurposed as creative hubs in a precarious postindustrial economy. It is also the story of how popular urban clich s and the fictional portrayal of cities powerfully shape the way we read and see the bricks, concrete and glass that surround us. Thought-provoking and original, Why Cities Look the Way They Do will appeal to anyone who wants to understand the contemporary city, shedding new light on humanity's greatest collective invention.

Reviews
"Fascinating." The Guardian "Williams is an affable guide, breezy and smart. And brave. 'I hate Venice,' he declares in the first sentence." The Spectator ' Why Cities Look the Way They Do is a great read. It's comfortable in voice but provocative in uncovering harsh truths and filled with fascinating visuals. To walk the city and travel the world with Williams is to journey to the brutal core of the power of image and to understand its sway over bodies and minds.' Sharon Zukin, author of Naked City: The Death and Life of Authentic Urban Places 'Using our eyes to understand the social and psychological DNA of cities is the refreshing and important contribution of Richard J. Williams's new book. Read it and look around you with heightened vision!' Richard Burdett, London School of Economics and Political Science "Nicely spiky... Very enjoyable." Diane Coyle, The Enlightened Economist "I enjoyed Williams' insightful observations, his use of quirky sources [...], the introduction of fascinating off-piste examples and his beautiful writing. The book opens up questions rather than closing them down and, being relatively short and accessible, is likely to be on reading lists for some time." Times Higher Education "The conclusion is remarkable for its honesty." Swarajya 'The originality of Williams' argument makes for a riveting read, in which everything from the gay village to the shopping mall is explored. Essential for anyone is with an interest in the buildings around them.' Spears, "Fascinating." -- The Guardian "Williams is an affable guide, breezy and smart. And brave.
