Résumé:

"[This book] evolved from a debate-platform, the Holcim Forum for Sustainable Construction on Urban Transformation, which took place in 2007 at Tongji University in Shanghai, China. For three days more 250 professionals from over 40 countries - architects, urban planners, engineers, scholars, representatives from business and governments - met in working groups and for panel sessions to discuss the challenges cities face today in respect to urban change."--Foreword (p. 10)
