Description

The essays in this book explore the varied and future states of cities and were developed at the Ourtopias conference at Toronto’s Design Exchange in 2007. City designers, architects and legislators offer a widely varying focus encompassing diverse public cultures and practical methods for transforming complex city forms. The word Ourtopia - our Utopia - conveys that the human experience cannot be removed from the city experience. Ten essays accompanied by numerous illustrations.
