The book critiques modernist urbanism, revealing how Arcadianism and instrumentalism undermine its progressive ideals. It explores the origins of modernist thought rooted in Cartesian space and highlights contradictions stemming from a reliance on depoliticized expertise. The author examines the postmodern landscape of industrial ruins and argues for a shift towards a more creative and democratic approach to urban design. Emphasizing the need for cities to foster proximity, diversity, and agency, it advocates for collaborative efforts in shaping the built environment.
