Iconoclastic and often controversial, he is a witty, entertaining, yet ultimately serious writer. In this new collection, Sorkin reviews the state of contemporary architecture and surveys the dramatic changes in the urban environment of the past decade. From New York to New Delhi, from Shanghai to Cairo, Sorkin offers a sweeping assessment of the impact of globalization, environmental degradation, electronic media, rapid growth, and the legacies of modernist planning. 606 $aCity planning 606 $aNew towns 606 $aSustainable architecture 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aNew towns. 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 676 $a720/.47 700 $aSorkin$b Michael$f1948-$034187 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784102203321 996 $aSome assembly required$93775916 997 $aUNINA
