Urban Planning for Transitions
ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-78630-675-3 (ISBN)
Urban planners have come up with transition proposals and concepts that they hope will be able to respond to cities� challenges and ultimately allow them to adapt and make the transition into more robust urban areas. This book presents and discusses various urban transition strategies, action plans and programs that have been proposed or even conducted in different countries all over the world. Different countries require different strategies, but they all have the same goal in mind, each of them trying to address urban complexities and cope with the rapid pace at which the world is evolving.
Nicolas Douay is Professor of Urban Planning at University of Grenoble Alpes, France, where he teaches at the Institute of Urban Planning and Alpine Geography and conducts research at Pacte, a social science research center. Michael Minja is an architect from Tanzania and a recent Urban Planning Master�s degree graduate from the University of Grenoble Alpes, France. He has worked as a freelance architect and has also taken part in various urban planning workshops, symposiums and research.
