Traditional planning and design disciplines have proven to have limited comprehension of, and little grip on, such transformations. Public and scholarly discussions argue that these projects and transformations derive from socioeconomic, political, cultural trends or conditions of globalization. The author suggests that general urban theories are relevant as background, but of limited efficacy when dealing with such context-bound projects and policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book critically investigates emerging problematic issues such as the spectacularization of the urban environment, the decontextualization of design practice, and the global circulation of plans and projects. The book portends new conceptualizations, evidence-based explanations, and practical understanding for architects, planners, and policy makers to critically learn from practice, to cope with these transnational issues, and to put better planning in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Davide Ponzini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032474459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032474458\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Davide Ponzini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302023131391,"sku":"9781032474458","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88a3d791-b5bf-4a32-8796-95439da4e54e.jpg?v=1695159074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transnational-architecture-and-urbanism-davide-ponzini-9781032474458","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
