Great Leap Forward
Great Leap Forward
Published by Taschen, 2001
This is the first book of the series, "Project on the City"
by Harvard Design School
(721 pages)
I can't even begin to gush about this book/tome.
This is the future of academic research and book design.
Interesting, rigorous, and relevant research on urban planning and politics in
five major districts in China with tons of visual aid.
The table of contents is organized as follows:
Introduction, chronology, ideology, architecture, money, landscape, policy, infrastructure and glossary.
They also answer every question you can possibly have about development in China (except about the Olympics). For example they have an essay titled, "The industrial park: public/private partnerships in a socialist market economy."
This book project is by the graduate students at Harvard studying Urban Planning and Design.
Their second book is about shopping (!) and it is called
Harvard Design School Guide to Shopping. They basically investigate the impact of shopping on the city in, you know, 800 pages or less.
