Abstract
Imaging the City brings together the work of designers, artists, dancers, and media specialists to investigate how we perceive the city, how we imagine it, how we experience it, and how we might better design it. Steve Hawley, Edward M. Clift, and Kevin O’Brien provocatively open up the field of urban analysis and thought to the perspectives of creative professionals from non-urban disciplines. With contributors from across the globe, Imaging the City offers insight for engaging with - and forecasting the future of - our cities.
