Book / Citymakers: City Knowledge, Knowledge City
A centuries old relationship; knowledge production and the city. Here we explore the different forms that marriage takes in three cities today, and how the dynamic is evolving.
Book / Citymakers: Pragmatics of the Picturesque
The Picturesque has come to influence how we look at and respond to the city. We investigate what the picturesque is, as both a theory of historic origins and as a practical design tool for urbanists.

Book / Fabric of Place
The Fabric of Place explores how cites, towns and villages can evolve and change by building on their historic form and identity rather than by sacrificing them.
Book / Citymakers: What we leave behind
