Summary
  1. "The contributors in this book -- architects, critics and documenters -- have responded to the invitation to prise the fact from the fiction, with particular focus on both the Gulf emirate of Dubai and the rapid urbanisation of China. Are cities from zero universal blueprints of a better world for all of us, or doomed, out-dated models of already extinct ideologies?"--Cover.
