This book positions Ulaanbaatar as a unique case and one that allows us to view our urban world differently. Operating as a primordial soup of emerging conditions, Ulaanbaatar is conceived as an incubator for alternative urban concepts. The book rejects the agency of the masterplan as an effective tool in emerging urban conditions and instead positions the framework as a tool for incremental urbanism. <\/p>\n
Although specific to the Ger districts of Mongolia, the story of how people, communities, planners, and politicians are grappling with the effects of becoming urban remains one of the critical issues facing the 21st century. How this process will be materialised and organised spatially, and by whom, will have profound ramifications on the climate and the social and economic make-up of our future cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This book is about what it means to become urban. By describing the impact of rural nomads moving and settling to the city of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, it allows us to reflect on our contemporary urban condition and the urgent challenges facing millions of people around the world as they transform from rural to urban life.
