Description
One gets the impression from most books about architecture and the city that the world is a flat place inhabited by very rich countries, plus others that are very poor and who are trying as fast as they can -via primitive capitalism - to stop being so.

The book opens with a number of theoretical articles and schemes oriented towards thinking about the specific conditions of the project in those contexts.
