Projections 10: Designing for Growth & Change




The 10th edition of the MIT Journal of Planning, Projections10, is ready! The topic of the issue – Designing for Growth & Change – invited both theorists and practitioners of urban design to reflect upon design strategies that enable or allow settlements patterns to adapt, with ease and elegance, to changes in use, and to present and reflect on design strategies that can readily accommodate growth in demand over time. 

The list of seven papers that appear in the issue are included as PDFs below. Digital versions of previous issues of the Journal can be obtained from the Journal's website.
