As this technology become more powerful, faster and cheaper, novel workflows are becoming available and revolutionizing all stages of the design process, from early spatial concepts, to subsequent project development, advanced manufacturing processes, and integration into functional buildings.

This is a book about how cities occupy space. Critically, we point out that a desirably denser city must rely on public transport, and we also study how a less-dense city can be made to work with public transport.
