Description

Loose Fit City explores the impact of bottom-up architecture on urban design and planning. Based on extensive experience with urban metabolisms in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Agra, Kathmandu, West Africa, and London, this book examines how residents participate in the city-making process. It investigates how different elements made by various people at different scales and times can be fitted together to create a cohesive civic entity. The text focuses on how the process of making allows city residents to engage with the dynamic creation of their own environments. By looking at these organic processes, the book provides a perspective on how individual actions contribute to a larger urban whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. This work is a valuable resource for those studying how bottom-up learning through making shapes modern urban landscapes.
