Abstract
Over the past decades we have witnessed an increasingly urban planning crisis. Our century, as Rem Koolhaas writes, “has been a losing battle against the problem of quantity” . Fast-swelling numbers and the consequent infrastructure support logistics are not just difficult problems, they are insurmountable: an inevitable and ever-evolving force that may either continue to grow, adapt and survive, or wear out and eventually fall apart. The density – extension dichotomy, a principal characteristic of the modern urban landscape, has been examined through the analysis of a series of international case studies, guided by publications and research in the fields of architecture, planning and design.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
