About this book
Border Urbanism presents a global array of authors’ research that tackles the perception, interpretation, and nature of borders from a transdisciplinary perspective. The authors examine ways in which borders attempt to define socially, economically, politically, and historically incompatible systems, from micro neighbourhoods to global macro territories, and how this blurs urban order that results in an absence of cohesion. Their analysis of contextual worldwide settings considers the unique issues and the broad scope of forces that shape borders and separate socioeconomic, political, cultural, and historical polarities.
The transdisciplinary approach of Border Urbanism ensures that it will be of interest to individuals across a spectrum of professions and disciplines. Professionals such as urban planners, designers, architects, developers, and civil and environmental engineers and students of these disciplines will be particularly interested as will allied professionals and those not traditionally associated with urbanism; these include artists, sociologists, historians, lawyers, politicians, and civic and government leaders. The authors’ global perspectives, combined with their expertise in environmental, historical, cultural, social, political, and geographic areas, will appeal to anyone interested in border urbanism and its intersection with these areas.
Reviews
"Vital and timely research addressing border issues in a dynamic world order. Its analysis of fragile habitats in volatile socio-political times outlines means to support those disadvantaged by border conflicts." (Dr. Igea Troiani, Head of Division for Architecture, London South Bank University, London, UK)
"These thoughtful investigations search for interpretations, understandings, and truths that define the essence of society and territoriality. The book is an important, critical work articulating both the present and future." (Dr. Simon Atkinson, Mike Hogg Centennial Professor, School of Architecture, The University of Texas at Austin,Austin, Texas, USA)
