Transnational Architecture and Urbanism: Rethinking How Cities Plan, Transform and Learn

This book addresses trends in contemporary urban transformation by engaging the theoretical framework of transnational architecture and urbanism to examine selected projects. Davide Ponzini uses the term ‘transnational’ rather than ‘global’ to draw attention to the international scale of the projects and the multinational nature of their stakeholders, and to investigate how these projects engage with local and national conditions. The book’s main argument works to reveal the importance of the locale for urban development and transformation. and consists of three parts: Part I – Transnational Architecture and Urbanism, Part II – Critical Issues, Part III – Conclusions. With an unconventional structure, the book presents an unusual approach involving multiple subchapters, long headings, a fluid narrative, and segregated reference lists.
