Asian ethical urbanism : a radical postmodern perspective

Title: Asian ethical urbanism : a radical postmodern perspective /
Main Author: Lim, William Siew Wai, 1932-
Publisher: Singapore : World Scientific Publishing, c2005.

“؟Lim lends a determinedly spatialist and environmental perspective to issues such as rights, ethics, happiness and social justice, while compelling his readers to rethink previously established notions about them. Part II of this book consists of three city studies on Hanoi, Shanghai and Singapore, completed in the last two years, which attempt to match Lim's theoretical formulation with actual conditions occurring in Asia today. Also included is “Asian Architecture in the New Millennium”, a fascinating discourse on contemporary design conducted from a postmodern perspective.”
