This book puts Homo faber in the city. The first part of this study looks at how urbanism-the professional practice of city-making has evolved. City-makers in the nineteenth century tried to connect the lived and the built; these tissues were fragile and tore easily. In the twentieth century, cité and ville turned away from each other in the ways that urbanists thought about and went about city-making. Urbanism became, internally, a gated community. The book then explores how three big issues are affected by this fault line between the lived and the built"-- Provided by publisher.
