Climax City: Masterplanning and the Complexity of Urban Growth Rudlin David
Book Award Finalist for Urban Design Group Awards 2020Human settlements are the result of a mix of self-organisation and planning. Connections between the process of urban growth and the fields of complexity theory are of increasing importance to planners and urbanists alike; the idea that cities are emergent structures created not by design but from the interplay of relatively simple rules and forces over time. Planners are fighting a losing battle to impose order on chaotic systems.
Challenging the idea that the city can be entirely planned on paper, this book implores you to work with chaos From the the small Tuscan hill town to the megacities of Asia: the struggle between the planned and the unplanned is universal.Based on years of international research, Climax City is a critical exploration of the growth of cities and masterplanning.
