Description: "Cities Without Cities investigates the social, economic, environmental and formal/structural characteristics of today's built environment: no longer simply a city but increasingly large conurbations made up of a number of development clusters, linked by transport routes. The diffusion of the once compact city into city web, the Zwischenstadt is mirrored by changes in society from communities with strong social cohesion and social links, with little interest in their own town or city other than the quality of their personal space."--Jacket.
