Written by noted urban planner Pedro Ortiz, who served as director of the groundbreaking Madrid Metropolitan-Regional Plan, The Art of Shaping theMetropolis presents an innovative, agile solution for managing urban growth that enhances economic activity, environmental stability, and quality of life.Based on the findings from Madrid and other cities, this timely guide offers a methodical system for addressing the crucial issues facing governments, professionals, the private and public sectors, developers, stakeholders, and inhabitants of twenty-first-centurymetropolises. The book details new rubrics to identify the process of growth and its evolution, new tools to monitor and gauge them, and new methods to synthesize them into a professional praxis that will be sustainable for the long term. Ortiz demonstrates how metropolises can be organized for a future that preserves the historic nucleus of the city and the environment, while providing for thenecessary sustainable expansion of transportation, housing, and social and productive facilities.COVERAGE INCLUDES: * The dialogues of the metropolis * The challenge * The inheritance * Balanced urban development--fabric and form * The chess on a tripod (CiTi) method to build the model * Madrid as testing ground * Practical considerations in implementing a metropolitan plan * Translating the model elsewhere"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The Dialogues of the Metropolis -- The Challenge -- The Inheritance -- Balanced Urban Development: The Fabric -- Balanced Urban Development: The Form -- The Chess on a Tripod (CiTi) Method to Build the Model -- Madrid as Testing Ground -- Practical Considerations in Implementing a Metropolitan Plan -- Translating the Model Elsewhere. 650 0 $a City planning $x History $y 21st century $v Handbooks, manuals, etc. 650 7 $a ARCHITECTURE / Urban & Land Use Planning. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a City planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862177 648 7 $a 2000 - 2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Handbooks and manuals $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423877 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826091938.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=80DDEE6E6B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
