More than half of the Earth’s population is urbanized and cities, the setting-world of modernity, are now accepted as the decisive norm of human settlement. Yet the reality of urbanity today is multi-faceted and reveals a wide diversity and complexity of urban models and forms. Fragmented, divided, segregated, chaotic, violent, as destructed as it is constructed, the city is likewise a place of innovation, creation and cultural struggle—a space that architecture, urban planning and the social and spatial sciences are striving to understand.
