Emergent Tokyo : Designing the Spontaneous City

 This book examines the urban fabric
of contemporary Tokyo as a valuable demonstration of permeable,
inclusive, and adaptive urban patterns that required neither extensive
master planning nor corporate urbanism to develop. These urban patterns
are emergent: that is, they are the combined result of numerous
modifications and appropriations of space by small agents interacting
within a broader socio-economic ecosystem. Together, they create a
degree of urban intensity and liveliness that is the envy of the world's
cities.
