Are cities from zero--Dubai, for example--universal blueprints of a better world for all of us, or doomed, outdated models of already extinct ideologies? The contributors to this book--architects, critics, and documenters--have responded to the invitation to prise the fact from the fiction, with particular focus on both the gulf emirate of Dubai and the rapid urbanization of China.
