Resumen: Fifty years ago a landmark conference at Harvard University established urban design as a distinct architectural and planning practice. Today, with the world's urban population surpassing three billion people, urban design has become more crucial than ever. In Urban Design, Alex Krieger and William S. Saunders have assembled prominent figures in architecture, planning, and landscape design to look back on the evolution of the discipline of urban design, assess the current state of the field, and anticipate how the profession must adapt in order to confront the challenges posed by the unprecedented rate of urbanization.
