Features: This book primarily discusses a new urbanization trend in architectural design, which has clearly become an increasingly important role in architectural design in the 21st century. The book selects several representative projects from the 19th century to the new millennium, which are outstanding examples of the revival of urban concepts and the regeneration of urban construction. The entire book is divided into four parts, covering topics such as urban reconstruction, urban expansion, urban transportation, and human development. The book will begin with introductory comments, pointing out the historical causes and signs of modern urban problems, stating the views of critics and reformers, and discussing the principles that world cities and urban architecture should follow in transformation and improvement.
