SHAPING THE CITY - CONVERSATION + BOOK LAUNCH LOS ANGELES | FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 01, 2013 | 7PM The Launch event will feature the newly printed edition and a brief conversation with Rodolphe el-Khoury, Shaping the City editor and Director of Urban Design at the University of Toronto, Qingyun Ma, Dean of USC School of Architecture, and book contributors, Teddy Cruz, Victor J. Jones, and Paulette Singley. Shaping the City examines key issues in urban design through a study of particular cities at important periods in their development. This new edition introduces relevant case studies vital to any study of contemporary urbanism - Dubai, New Orleans, Tijuana, Los Angeles, and a flurry of informal cities in the Global South point to the problems and questions at hand. Published by Routledge, this collection of essays illustrates the complex forces that shape cities, and introduces the critical methods and tools used to describe and theorize the urban environment -- taking on important themes and debates in urban design and serving to inspire all those who play a part in their creation.
