Inhaltsangabe
The book is structured into twenty-nine essays, each dedicated to a pair of urbanistic concepts.
Discussing historical and contemporary, interpretive and designerly approaches to urbanity, the notions composing the 29 pairs relate dialectically, as theses-and-antitheses. Still, we are warned, ‘the presented antagonisms are not a priori in opposition, but rather complementary.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
After years of experience in education, research, design and policy, Professor Marcel Smets, former Flemish Government Architect, compiles his insights on the city and urban design in a personal booklet.
In his search for the foundations of urban design, Marcel Smets puts forward thirty complementary pairs of concepts. He starts from archetypal settlement forms (ribbon and cluster, ladder and star), typifies morphological categories (street and road, island and archipelago) and highlights changing design processes (creator and curator, growth and improvement). The concept pairs are illustrated with drawings by Heinrich Altenmüller.
This English edition is the fully revised and expanded edition of the previously published book in Dutch and French.
