the City Edge

INTRODUCTION
“ cities are too particular as phenomena- specific to moments in time
and to the alterations of site and culture- to be pinned down by
absolute taxonomies”
“ urbanism as a process- the many ways in which a city‟s physical
frame is adjusted according to changing contingencies” – spiro
kostof.
this book looks at the factors affecting change and modification of
urban form, what elements constitute it, how they assemble together
to weave the pattern of urban fabric.
The review attempts to study the chapter on the City Edge. It takes
into account historical, topographical, political, socio-cultural factors
which brought about a change in the defined city edge over time.
