"How to Read Towns &​ Cities is a pocket-sized primer to understanding the forces that have shaped the world's cities. It takes a practical, highly visual approach -- showing us how to read the stories embedded in the fabric of the neighbourhoods, towns, and cities in which we live today. The fortunes of towns and cities rise and fall along with the fate of the civilisations to which they belong. Some are lost entirely, now no more than ruins; others have thrived as urban centres for millennia; and all contain vital clues embedded in their streets and skylines which reveal why their inhabitants grouped together, and tell of their unique social, political and cultural histories. Packed with plans, maps, and drawings, this book takes the reader on an international journey of discovery to explore the history of cities from our earliest urban origins to the contemporary world city -- from Babylon to Beijing, London to Paris, and from the skyscrapers of New York to the streets of their own home town. A must-read for anyone interested in history, cities, and travel, this fascinating book turns the reader into urban detective to see how our towns and cities grew the way they are."

"Who makes our cities, and what part do everyday users have in the design of cities? This book powerfully shows that city-making is a social process and examines the close relationship between the social and physical shaping of urban environments. With cities taking a growing share of the global population, urban forms and urban experience are crucial for understanding social injustice, economic inequality and environmental challenges. Current processes of urbanization too often contribute to intensifying these problems; cities, likewise, will be central to the solutions to such problems. Focusing on a range of cities in developed and developing contexts, Cities by Design highlights major aspects of contemporary urbanization: urban growth, density and sustainability; inequality, segregation and diversity; informality, environment and infrastructure. Offering keen insights into how the shaping of our cities is shaping our lives, Cities by Design provides a critical exploration of key issues and debates that will be invaluable to students and scholars in sociology and geography, environmental and urban studies, architecture, urban design and planning."

"ABSTRAKKepadatan kendaraan bermotor semakin lama semakin dikeluhkan oleh wargaJakarta karena waktu tempuh untuk mencapai tujuan menjadi semakin lama. Targetpemerintah DKI Jakarta untuk membangun sistem transportasi massal saat ini sedangdilaksanakan. Salah satu sistem yang dibangun oleh pemerintah DKI Jakarta adalah MRT(Mass Rapid Transit) berbasis rel. Pembangunan MRT akan memberi dampak terhadapruang kota yang dilintasinya. Sebagaimana yang ditunjukkan dari preseden berbagaikota di dunia, pemerintah DKI juga berharap MRT akan mendorong konseppengembangan Transit-Oriented Development (TOD).Actant dalam teori sastra adalah orang atau makhluk atau benda yang bermaindalam satu set peran aktif dalam suatu narasi.. Dalam konteks dunia maya, actant dapatdikaitkan dengan keberadaan teknologi internet yang dapat memproduksi ruang,mempermudah aktivitas manusia, membantu manusia bekerja jarak jauh,mengendalikan pergerakan orang dan barang dan meningkatkan nilai ekonomi ruang.Dalam hal ini aktan bergerak untuk memproduksi hal-hal tersebut. Selain teknologiinternet, dimensi sosial juga berpengaruh terhadap ruang kota dengan manusia sebagaipelakunya. Kedua elemen, yaitu aktan dan dimensi sosial akan menjadi penggerakperubahan ruang kota pasca pembangunan MRT. Tujuannya untuk mencapai konsepTOD yang mendorong kepadatan secara proporsional, fungsi yang bercampur, sirkulasidan ruang publik yang berorientasi kepada pejalan kaki, dan peningkatan kualitaslingkungan hijau.

ABSTRACTThe number of vehicles has been increasing rapidly. This caused Jakarta citizentakes a longer time to reach their destination due to the high traffic. The Government ofDKI Jakarta is developing mass transportation systems which is currently beingimplemented. One of them is MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) rail-based that could impact thecities that would be passed-through. Like many other cities in the world, thegovernment believe that MRT would eventually grow into the development of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) as well.Actant is person or creature or object that have an active role in narrative. Incyberspace, the movement of actant can be related with the presence of internettechnology to create space, accommodate human activities, support people to workremotely, control the movement of people and goods, and enhance the economic valueof space. Besides of Internet technology, social dimensions influence the urban spacewith humans as actor as well. Both actant and social dimension will be the ?agent ofchange? in the urban space after the final phase of MRT development. The aim is toachieve TOD concepts which lead to the proportional density of citizen, mixed functions,the pedestrians-oriented circulation and public spaces, and the improvement ofenvironmental quality issues."
