Abstract:
"In Remaking Cities, design theorist Tony Fry addresses the challenge of urban sustainability and resilience from a conceptual design perspective. In a typically provocative work, Fry presents ideas and actions for 'metrofitting' - a radical approach which expands the concept of 'retrofit' up to city scale, and places social, cultural, political and ethical concerns at its heart."--
