Description: Collected essays, initially prepared for the Mn'M 2011 Symposium held at the Hiyoshi Campus of Keio University in November 2011, on architecture and urban design in ten cities around the world. Urban quality is the focus of the research team. Each essay tries to analyse the relationship between urban densities / 'intensities' and eco-quality, by looking at the ways in which urban architectural design has addressed culture and sustainability.
