The Nile on eBay   Suburban Form by Kiril Stanilov, Brenda Case Scheer This book examines and documents the remarkable development and transformation of suburban form throughout the globe during the twentieth century. FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description This book examines and documents the remarkable development and transformation of suburban form throughout the globe during the twentieth century. The premise that suburban areas are monotonous, inert environments is put to a test through investigation of the complexity of those suburban settings and the dynamic physical changes that have taken place since their inception. Suburban Form: An International Perspective investigates select case studies of suburban environments from around the globe, demonstrating that the process of suburbanization is an international phenomenon with interesting continuities despite cultural differences. The case studies span from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, through new town developments in Singapore, to the high-tech regions of the Silicon Valley and they Tokaido Corridor. The authors analyse the impact of certain elements of urban form on the processes of formation and transformation of the built environment. The impact that urban planning concepts and principles, as well as governmental policies and regulations, have had and continue to exert on shaping the twentieth-century suburbs is also examined.The analysis of suburban form is used to enhance our understanding of the wide variety of current patterns of urban growth, the logic of their physical evolution, the set of opportunities and constraints characterising each type of suburban environment; and the choices that we have in shaping the future of our cities.

The Changing Form of Suburbs. Part 2. Understanding the Elements and the Patterns. Part 3. The Effect of Planning. Part 4. The Reconstruction of the Suburbs. Long Description Although international suburban development has been the subject of many economic, environmental and social texts there are no books that compare and analyze the actual form of international suburbs and peripheral developments. This book offers a framework and method for understanding these physical changes. The focus of all the chapters is the physical form of the suburbs, which has received considerable attention in the US and in the UK but has yet to be examined as an international issue. These chapters demonstrate that suburban and peripheral development is a global phenomenon with interesting continuities despite cultural differences.
