Description:
In this superbly illustrated book Xiaofei Chen presents the first analysis in English of a ubiquitous East Asian urban phenomenon: the supergrid and superblock urban structure.
Review Quotes:
'The classic urban morphological studies tell us not only about the particular places they scrutinize but tend to say something enduring about urban form and society more generally. Supergrid and Superblock is a welcome addition to join the classics and should give both scholars and practitioners food for thought for years to come.'
-Stephen Marshall, University College London
