Taking on the key issues in urban design, Shaping the City examines the critical ideas that have driven these themes and debates through a study of particular cities at important periods in their development. As well as retaining crucial discussions about cities such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Brasilia at particular moments in their history that exemplified the problems and themes at hand like the mega-city, the post-colonial city and New Urbanism, in this new edition the editors have introduced new case studies critical to any study of contemporary urbanism – China, Dubai, Tijuana and the wider issues of informal cities in the Global South. The book serves as both a textbook for classes in urban design, planning and theory and is also attractive to the increasing interest in urbanism by scholars in other fields. Shaping the City provides an essential overview of the range and variety of urbanisms and urban issues that are critical to an understanding of contemporary urbanism.

This book contains a compilation of the work of Perkins & Will Miami since it’s inception in 1996. Drawing from a legacy of nearly a century of the fabled Chicago architectural Firm, the story of the Miami Studio is one of a search for a regional and critical modernist language unique to its time and place. Starting as a five person office, the studio has grown to a team of 70 architects, interior designers, and landscape professionals who have come together with a single vision of meaning and purpose. The work ranges from one of the most visionary Corporate Headquarters in the country, to a Hospital in Ghana; from the most important new Public Park in Florida to the largest Women’s University in the Middle East; from an Innovation Center in Rio de Janeiro, to an Office Building in Wynwood.
