Abstract

How much is the design profession to blame for the stark inequality of Brazilian cities and other global metropolises? Ricky Burdett, Professor of Urban Studies at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and Director of its Cities and the Urban Age Programme, questions the ability of designers to often fully ‘grasp the social and environmental implications of the spatial decisions they take’.
