While Jacobs is a legend in the field of urbanism and famous for challenging and profoundly influencing urban planning and design, her theoretical contributions – although central to her criticisms of and proposals for public policy – are frequently overlooked even by her most enthusiastic admirers. This book argues that Jacobs’s insight that “a city cannot be a work of art” underlies both her ideas on planning and her understanding of economic development and social cooperation. It shows how the theory of the market process and Jacobs’s theory of urban processes are useful complements – an example of what economists and urbanists can learn from each other. This Jacobs-cum-market-process perspective offers new theoretical, historical, and policy analyses of cities, more realistic and coherent than standard accounts by either economists or urbanists. 2023-11-13T16:42:51Z 2023-11-13T16:42:51Z 2024 book ONIX_20231113_9789819953622_45 9789819953622 9789819953615 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/85102 eng application/pdf n/a 978-981-99-5362-2.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-981-99-5362-2 Springer Nature Palgrave Macmillan 10.1007/978-981-99-5362-2 10.1007/978-981-99-5362-2 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 8a5bb6fb-916d-4481-af89-54e6c1ded01d 9789819953622 9789819953615 Palgrave Macmillan 400 Singapore [...] open access
