{"pk":3359,"title":"City Building: Nine Planning Principles for the 21st Century By John Lund Kriken","subtitle":null,"abstract":"A series of global case studies forms the backbone of this book, largely drawing on author John Kriken’s work as a principal urban designer at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) LLP. While visually stunning and thought-provoking, the book avoids grappling with the toughest questions confronting today’s cities. The first of three parts introduces the reader to a short history of urban design and planning, situating the author as a newcomer to the field at a time when rational planning had reached its apex. Part II outlines nine principles for 21st century city building. Part III examines future solutions and models for city building.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Book Reviews","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1z65n65r","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Nicola","middle_name":"","last_name":"Szibbo","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Berkeley","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-01-30T19:27:02Z","date_accepted":"2012-01-30T19:27:02Z","date_published":"2011-01-30T08:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucb_crp_bpj/article/3359/galley/2128/download/"}]}
