“Asian Ethical Urbanism sets out the challenge to all involved in the improvement of city life in times of explosive growth. And that, as Lim argues requires innovation from us all, policy setters, developers and designers.”
“With these essays, Lim sets the issue of architecture and urbanism at a very fundamental level: defining and defending a good life for all. Like the conscience of the profession, he reminds us to place more faith in life-worlds than systems, more commitment to justice than profit, more interest in liberty than control.”
“Architects view urban spaces quite differently from social scientists … Rare is an architect who immerses himself in social science literature, and the rarest of all, is the architect who adopts social science theory to enhance explanations of the brick and mortar creations of his own discipline. This book is an example of what fascinating forms can be created if the two are successfully merged.”
“Overall, this book, espousing a radical urban vision, is recommended to architects and planners with an interest in doing more than merely facilitating Asia's wild capitalism, with its bulldozer approach to clearing the city to make way for the high-rise towers of commerce and glitz.”
