Urban Dystopias Lofty Ideals to Shocking Realities

Urban Dystopias Lofty Ideals to Shocking Realities by Jane Burry, Marcus White, published by John Wiley & Sons in 2023.

Guest-edited by Marcus White and Jane Burry Cities are facing several coinciding global crises. There is the dominant existential narrative of the impact of and adaptation to climate change, itself powered by cities. In a time of unprecedented urbanisation and growth, resilient architecture and urbanism is needed in response. New modes of transport, renewed anxiety about robots taking jobs, AI, and the humbling recent experience of a global pandemic are all challenging norms and expectations.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves history.
