‘Supertight: Models for Living and Making Culture in Dense Urban Environments’ is a new book that explores both the delight and the difficulty that emerges through close occupation in large cities.
In this live in-store discussion, Supertight editors Dr Graham Crist and Dr. John Doyle explore the benefits of urban closeness, of a particular density without an upper limit. They will consider: what are the qualities of cities that adapt to closeness, and do so without limit? How should we describe the qualities found in very dense cities, and how are those qualities designed, observed or imagined?
