<p><b>An insightful and revealing look at the intersection of housing and urban design</b> <p>In the newly revised Second Edition of <i>The Urban Housing Handbook</i>, Eric Firley and Victor Deupi deliver a vital design and analysis tool for housing practitioners, students, and researchers. The book outlines the characteristics of 30 of the most notable housing types from around the world, studied against a background of increasing densification. <p>Each of the 30 chapters includes a fully-explored tradi tional example followed by one or two contemporary projects of similar spatial configuration that address changing trends in architecture and urban design. <p>For this latest edition all contemporary examples have been updated and are now presented on two full spreads per chapter. <p>Other features include: <ul><li>A rigorous analytical method that classifies the types according to four main categories (courtyard houses, row houses, compounds and apartment buildings)</li> <li>A thorough introduction to the relationship between an individual housing unit and the urban fabric that it creates through repetition</li> <li>A strong focus on dense metropolitan projects from around the world</li> <li>A set of key figures that translate visual information into metrics</li> <li>Unique, original drawings of illustrated housing accompanied by aerial and street-level context photos</li></ul> <p>Conceived for architects and urban designers, <i>The Urban Housing Handbook</i> is also an ideal resource for urban planners, housing developers, builders, and housing trust professionals.
