Urban Spaces No. 3 is a lavishly illustrated, thoughtfully annotated tour of diverse projects throughout the world. John Morris Dixon, FAIA, long-time chief editor of Progressive Architecture magazine, explains the major design challenges and accomplishments of these outstanding projects.

Visited are such public facilities as Denver's Invesco Field; mixed-use urban developments such as Millennium Place in Boston, and the Shops at North Bridge in Chicago; resort communities such as Martinique on the Alabama coast and River Run in the Colorado Rockies. Current community planning is exemplified in revitalization plans for Joliet, Illinois, and Jupiter, Florida, and in new communities such as Alameda Point in California. Looking abroad, you will examine the Manchester Regional Center in England, and audacious plans for the Beijing Olympics.
