Urban Complex

With fast-paced urbanization, increasing urban population and expanded urban space, Urban Complex, a new city model, comes into being under the requirement of economic development and peoples consumption. During this process, modern services such as information, capital and business communication have played important roles. The new trend to combine varied commercial and business activities as well as multiple functions is inevitable. This volume selected about 40 Urban Complexes around the world which were built in recent years. It includes shopping centers, theme complexes and commercial complexes which are used for business, offices, shopping, culture, entertainment, residences, travel or relaxation. All of these cases are attached with full drawings, renderings, high-resolution photos as well as text descriptions to introduce their advanced design ideas. The publication is participated and supported by many world-renowned architects. Thus hereby we would like to show our deepest gratitude to the architects and the contributors. And we really hope that these selected Urban Complexes will inspire the readers in some way.
