"Textbook spans 30 years of the well-known urban designer and architect Kees Christiaanse's thinking about cities. He is responsible for large urban projects, including Hamburg HafenCity, Rotterdam's waterfront revitalization and London's Olympic Legacy Plan. The collected texts range from charting the influence of the bicycle on his thinking about future mobility to the examination of dominant concepts and projects in the contemporary built environment. Illustrations of Christiaanse's sketches, personal notebook pages and watercolours complement this unique collection" d'après l'éditeur.
