ABSTRACT
The Art of City-Making is a clarion call to usher in a new spirit of the times, a new Zeitgeist, one which sees the wood and the trees simultaneously and which sees things in the round. It understands the dialectical dynamics of our creative and imaginative ecology as individuals, organizations and cities. It grasps its implications on the culture of a place. It understands what drives motivation, aspiration and will. It seeks to re-enchant the city and give it an altered resonance, where the word ‘urban' is not always seen as negative (‘urban crime' somehow feels worse than ‘crime').
