Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A kaleidoscopic and original new history of urbanisation from Lisbon to New York, Paris to Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires to Lagos.For the past three centuries, urban dwellers and planners have imagined future cities that would be radically different from those of the past. Planners pursue…d progress, whether focused on flying vehicles above, sewage systems below, or daily life in between. Yet, as Bruno Carvalho shows in this original and wide-ranging history, which features some sixty illustrations, modern cities continuously defied predictions. Visionary designs and technological innovations created dramatic, unforeseen outcomes, and the ongoing urban boom is a story of continuity as well as rupture. A compelling history of imagined futures and the transformation of urban life, The Invention of the Future also suggests what we might learn from the stories of our cities as we shape them for the twenty-first century.Moving between large-scale changes and detailed examples, this captivating narrative tells the story of key moments and turning points: the rebuilding of Lisbon after the 1755 earthquake; the 1811 Commissioners' Plan for Manhattan; Parisian reforms from 1853 to 1870; Le Corbusier's plans for South American cities in the 1920s and 1930s; the postwar victory of the car; the utopian capital of Braslia; and urban growth in Africa.In recent decades, Carvalho argues, the capacity to invent urban futures has become increasingly constrained. Social and environmental challenges loom large. But the story is not over. While cities helped create current problems, compact and transit-rich urbanisation might be our best hope to combine high living standards with sustainability. Sometimes, moving forward can involve reaching back to the future. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
