- Summary:
- The Academy World Cities Series stems from the vital need to consider our urban environment at the dawn of a new millenium. It presents a detailed and intelligent analysis of the state of the world's most prominent cities and their visions of the future, examining not only the social environment and planning history of each city, but also the projects that were never realised - the missed opportunities that might have created a city with a very different atmosphere. Comprehensive collections of essays, illustrations and projects representing the gamut of architectural styles give this series a unique viewpoint. "World Cities: Shanghai "is the sixth in the Academy 'World Cities' series, following titles on London, Los Angeles, Berlin, Tokyo and New York.
