Japanese cities are amongst the most intriguing and confounding anywhere. Their structures, patterns of building and broader visual characteristics defy conventional urban design theories, and the book explores why this is so. Like its cities, Japan's written language is recognized as one of the most complicated, and the book is unique in revealing how the two are closely related. Set perceptively against a sweep of ideas drawn from history, geography, science, cultural and design theory, Learning from the Japanese City is a highly original exploration of contemporary urbanism that crosses disciplines, scales, time and space.

This is a thoroughly revised and much extended version of a book that drew extensive praise in its first edition. Most parts have stood the test of time and remain. A few are replaced or removed; about a hundred figures appear for the first time. Most important is an entirely new (sixth) section. This brings together many of the urban characteristics, otherwise encountered in fragments through the book, in one walkable district of what is arguably Japan's most convenient metropolis, Nagoya.

The interplay between culture, built form and cities remains at the heart of this highly readable book, while a change in subtitle to Looking East in Urban Design reflects increased emphasis on real places and design implications.

Completely Changed the Way I See Money!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book is far more than just a read about finances; it’s a masterclass in financial education that can truly change your life. From the very first page, Robert Kiyosaki challenges you to think differently: stop working just for money and learn how to make money work for you. I loved how he contrasts the lessons from his “Rich Dad” and “Poor Dad,” and how each story leaves you with practical lessons you can apply immediately. The 25th Anniversary Edition includes updated examples that make complex concepts easy to understand and incredibly actionable. If you want to take control of your financial future, build income-generating assets, and break free from the “work for money” mindset, this book is an absolute must-read. It’s not just a book—it’s an investment in yourself! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their relationship with money and build wealth smartly.
