Urban Constellations launch

Urban Constellations brings together five years of work and ideas associated with the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Urban Laboratory, which was set up in 2005 as a unique collaboration between four different faculties for urban teaching and research. 

This collection reflects an array of disciplines at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê that have engaged with the Urban Laboratory ranging from architecture and engineering to anthropology and film studies. 

The essay collection, edited by Mathew Gandy (), brings together a range of cutting-edge international experts on cities, urbanisation and urban culture. Contributors from the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment include Prof , Prof and Dr from the School of Architecture; and Prof from the School of Planning and Bartlett graduates Louis Moreno (MA Architectural History) and Johan Anderson (PhD Planning).

The global scope of the collection includes essays on Berlin, Chicago, and London, as well as less extensively studied cities such as Chennai, Jakarta, and Lagos.
