Description

Explore the complex evolution of modern cities with The New Century of the Metropolis: Urban Enclaves and Orientalism. As metropolitanization creates new challenges, this book examines why traditional attempts to limit growth and plan neighborhoods have often failed. Tom Angotti provides a perspective that remains optimistic about the future of the metropolis while addressing the serious issues facing our urban environments. This work investigates the inability of current urban planning to integrate urban and rural systems effectively. It looks at how planning contributes to rising inequality and the global trend of enclave development. By applying the concept of 'urban orientalism' as a theoretical framework, the text offers a deep look into how cities are shaped and perceived in the twenty-first century. This is an essential read for those interested in architecture, landscape, and the changing dynamics of global urban life.
