Book Synopsis
The majority of the peripheries and in-between spaces of the planet's urban regions are living spaces and working landscapes. Despite this, we understand little about the centrality of urban peripheries as the sites and spaces for some of the most imaginative, anticipatory, and purposeful instances of urbanism. This volume demonstrates the centrality of urban peripheries in all their variety with a view to reworking urban, architectural, design, planning, infrastructural, sociological, ecological, and geographical theory from the outside in. The book also examines the relationships of these new centralities to the metabolisms, assemblages, and urban political ecologies beyond the built and imagined materialities of their immediate situation. Features pioneering writing and illustrations on designed centralities in urban peripheries Presents a range of international examples covering most continents Offers novel theoretical interpretations from across the built environment disciplines
