Notes: This volume begins with Marshall's unpublished essay, Emerging from the ruins. With contributions by theorists, architects, medica critics, urbanists and historians from across the globe, it is a testament to the broad influence of Marshall's work. Some essays demonstrate the potential for applying his methods of analysis into places like Iran or Scotland. Others return to familiar places as the South Bronx or Times Square in order to stretch or update Marshall's analyses. And a few essays engage Marshall as a theorist and educator, examining his ideas of public, urban life, modernity and modernism, in and beyond the classroom. "Collectively, the essays that comprise this volume reflect deeply on Marshall work, and speak to its continued relevance in deciphering and finding meaning in our modern world"--Page 4 of cover.
