Description

The fourth edition in a series called Explorations in/of Urbanisms which aims to fill a gap in the contemporary debate concerning urbanism. Central to the thesis presented here is the idea that the regional scale is becoming more and more important to help tackle spatial questions such as the accommodation of dwelling needs or water storage. At the same time, however, plan- and policy-making are subject to complex and time-consuming processes in part due to the discovery of new tasks, but also due to the large number of actors and negotiations that take place. Designing a region provides the groundwork for new approaches, embracing the role of design as a key instrument in new forms of regional planning while also dealing with spatial aspects and good governance. - from Amzon
