catalog abstract "While architecture has figured centrally in discussions of postmodernism, urban design has been largely overlooked. This engaging and important work by Nan Ellin fills that void by presenting a lucid account of what postmodernism means for the design of large-scale environments and for those who design and inhabit them. The book begins with the most thorough survey to date of recent Western urban design theory from the townscape movement to participatory architecture. Regionalism, contextualism, neo-rationalism, neo-classicism, historical eclecticism, critical regionalism, and neo-traditionalism. Combining insights from anthropology, history, political economy, and literary criticism, Ellin proceeds to cast light upon the contemporary crises beleaguering the built environment and the architectural and planning professions. Both an intellectual history of urban design trends and an agenda for future interventions, Postmodern Urbanism. Offers an indispensable guide to deciphering the changing physical and social landscapes of the late twentieth century.".
