In "Fragile City," the authors Tülay Atak, David Berge, and Elke Krasny explore the intricate relationship between urbanization and its impact on social structures and environments. They draw parallels between Le Corbusier's vision from 1911 and the challenges faced in today's cities, highlighting vulnerabilities in urban planning and the necessity for sustainable development.
Through their analysis, they invite readers to reconsider architectural heritage while addressing modern-day concerns related to mobility, identity, and resilience. The work serves as both a critical reflection and a call to action, urging a reassessment of how cities evolve in response to the fragility of social and physical landscapes.
