Top 10 Books - 2009

Here are Planetizen's eighth annual list of the ten best books in 2009

The Endless City by Ricky Burdett and Deyan Sudjic, Editors Phaidon, 510 Pages

The great urban shift is examined and illustrated in this detailed and dense book. The Endless City discusses the challenges facing the urban environment and the global community in the near future, focusing on six major world cities: New York, Shanghai, London, Mexico City, Johannesburg, and Berlin. Through each and with accompanying essays from some of the brightest in the field, the book broadens the debate over globalization and growth. By defining the future as an “urban condition” and presenting options for approaching this condition, The Endless City is at once a diagnosis of troubled times and a prescription for emerging from them.

The Concrete Dragon: China's Urban Revolution And What It Means For The World By Thomas J. Campanella Princeton Architectural Press, 334 pages

Campanella, an urban planning professor at UNC Chapel Hill, brings us an eye-opening look at China's ever-expanding urban development brought on by Deng Xiaoping's "economic miracle". Concrete Dragon is full of staggering statistics, such as the fact that in 2003 alone, China put up 28 billion sq. ft. of housing- the equivalent of 1/8th of the housing stock of the entire United States. Campanella compares China's wanton sprawl almost wistfully to our own destructive history- Robert Moses has nothing on the Chinese for bulldozing neighborhoods in the name of progress. Concrete Dragon bites off a lot (architectural styles, social and cultural changes, detailed portraits of multiple cities) and often succeeds in giving us a fascinating look into a world most of us don't get to see.

A Better Way to Zone: Ten Principles to Create More Livable Cities By Donald L. Elliott Island Press, 256 pages

Elliott argues what many of us already now by now : that by moving away from traditional, “Euclidean” zoning practices, planners have the opportunity to lighten up and be more flexible with what goes where. But Elliott backs up his argument with eight lessons learned from the past, turning them into strategies for the future. Although zoning is not an inherently thrilling topic, as the author himself notes, this title shows how post-traditional zoning techniques are capable of reinvigorating even large, mature cities.

Who’s Your City?

by Richard Florida Basic Books, 374 Pages

Almost like a self-help book for that amorphous relationship between people and places, Who’s Your City? focuses mainly on how choosing a place to live is increasingly one of the most important decisions people make. Expanding on the themes of his previous work, Florida shows how certain types of people are attracted to certain types of places and that ending up in the right place has as much to do with personal preferences as it does with prevailing economic factors and professional trends. This book should be read by anyone considering making a move. More importantly, it should be read by cities to get them thinking about what it is they do best, what kind of people they’re attracting, and whether they want – or need -- to change.

Visioning and Visualization: People, Pixels, and Plans

by Michael Kwartler and Gianni Longo Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, 94 pages

This book is aptly rife with large, color images that help convey the authors’ main idea: visuals are essential to planning with the community. When aided by the effective use of visualization tools, public participants are also more effectively responsive, simply because the information is straightforward and manipulatable. Visioning and Visualization is an excellent guide on how such potential can be attained through current technologies.

Form-Based Codes: A Guide for Planners, Urban Designers, Municipalities, and Developers

By Daniel G. Parolek, Karen Parolek, and Paul C. Crawford, FAICP Wiley, 332 pages

Measured and thoughtful, Form-Based Codes is an intelligent how-to. Like a good textbook, the thoughts build one upon the other until you can see the clarity and wisdom of shedding your city’s zoning and moving to an enlightened future based on form rather than use. Pictures and charts are plentiful, and case studies build the impression that form-based codes aren’t some wacky new theory, but the continuing expression of solid principles of urban design.

Century of the City

by Neal R. Peirce and Curtis W. Johnson with Farley M. Peters The Rockefeller Foundation, 447 Pages

This book is an impassioned call for action. Vibrant with images and littered with sidebars, Century of the City is magazine-readable but book-intelligent. It’s the result of a month-long colloquy hosted by the Rockefeller Foundation to identify and strategize on the challenges faced by rapidly urbanizing 21st century cities. The focus is on taking multidisciplinary approaches to the issues faced by cities, from the underserved slums of India to the most bustling economic powerhouses of the new China. Readers will come away convinced that even the most inefficient cities are incredibly important to the livelihood of both local citizens and global citizens, and that making them better is truly an international imperative.

Hyperborder: The Contemporary U.S.-Mexico Border and Its Future

by Fernando Romero/LAR Princeton Architectural Press, 320 pages

Hyperborder—titled after the plethora of hyperactivities that occur daily along the U.S.-Mexican border—is a comprehensive look at such activities’ effects in the global context. Striking images and graphics portray the grim reality of the two nations’ lopsided interactions, but Romero’s message is altogether an optimistic one. Each chapter is headed with a pseudo-headline dated in the future, which collectively evolve into a best-case scenario in which both nations are eventually autonomous and cooperative.

Hungry City

By Carolyn Steel Chatto & Windus, 383 Pages

In reality, food policy is pretty simple: people gotta eat. With fewer people farming, the food we eat often comes from far away, and this is especially true in urban areas. The connection between food production, urban development and land use is unavoidable. Hungry City closely examines this connection and lays out exactly how our food gets from where it’s grown (or made or engineered) to where we eat it. The book emphasizes why this division between us and our food is a problem, primarily, of an under-nourished relationship between food and cities. Steel cogently argues that if we want to create sustainable cities for the future, we’ll need to think harder about meeting our food needs closer to home.

Traffic: Why We Drive The Way We Do, And What It Says About Us

By Tom Vanderbilt Knopf, 416 pages

The influence of Malcolm Gladwell continues to spread, and thankfully the result is great reads like Traffic. While transportation engineers may cringe, this engaging, populist look at driving behavior and transportation planning is just the ticket for those of us who are flummoxed by latent demand and the Braess Paradox. Vanderbilt uses interviews and his own curiosity to explain how the Dutch have made streets safer by removing traffic controls, and how the City of LA makes sure the limos of the stars arrive on time to hit the red carpet at the Oscars.

Top Ten Fighters

No. 10: F/A-22 Raptor Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin Power Plant: Pratt & Whitney F-119 PW-100 Top Speed: Mach 2.5 Armament: One 20mm cannon, six AMRAAM and two AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles Because it is almost invisible to radar and carries an awesome array of weaponry the F-22 Raptor, America's fourth-generation fighter, gets superb innovation and fear factor ratings. However, the aircraft's prowess is compromised by its astronomical production costs and the fact it has some way to go to match the combat records of the F-15 and F-16. Therefore, in the kill ratio, production and service length categories, the Raptor scores zip, placing it firmly in 10th place on our list. No. 9: Sea Harrier FA2 Manufacturer: British Aerospace Power Plant: Rolls Royce Pegasus mk 104 or 106 turbofan Top Speed: 736 mph Armament: Two 30-mm Aden cannon, plus two AMRAAM and four Sidewinder missiles, two Harpoon or Sea Eagle anti-ship missiles With its unrivaled ability to maneuver, hover and pop up from unexpected places, the Sea Harrier earns a solid fear factor rating. Its unique design and simple-to-produce airframe score well. Despite achieving a high kill ratio in the Falklands, the "jump jet's" slow speed makes it vulnerable to ground fire, which reduces its overall score. Though the aircraft is being phased out of frontline operations it still earns a respectable ninth place in our top 10 league. No. 8: Sopwith Camel Manufacturer: Sopwith Aviation Company Power Plant: Clerget rotary engine Top Speed: 112 mph Armament: Two Vickers .303 machine guns Credited with destroying at least 1,200 enemy aircraft, the Sopwith Camel rightly deserves to be called one of the best fighters of all time. Its solid, if unspectacular, scoring across the board ensures its standing in eighth place on the list of the greatest fighters of all time. No. 7: Me 262 Schwalbe Manufacturer: Messerschmitt Power Plant: Two Junkers Juno 004s Top Speed: 540 mph Armament: Four 30mm MK-108 cannons For innovation the "Swallow" scores maximum points. As the first of its kind, the Me 262 inspired equal measures of fear and admiration, so it also scores at the top of the scales in the fear factor category.

However, because the aircraft was difficult to build and it had notoriously unreliable engines, the aircraft's production rating is low - so too is its service record, having only been active for a little over two years. Nevertheless, the Me 262 will forever be in the record books as being the world's first fully operational jet fighter - a legend of the skies and the seventh greatest fighter of all time.

No. 6: Supermarine Spitfire

Manufacturer: Supermarine Aviation Works Power Plant: Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 piston engine Top Speed: 369 mph Armament: Eight Browning .303 machine guns; later version, four 20mm cannon

Used in all British theaters of conflict throughout the Second World War the Spitfire remains the unrivaled symbol of victory and Britain's finest hour. But the Spitfire is also famous for giving Field Marshall Erwin Rommel the scare of his life.

On July 17, 1944, in the north of France, a Canadian pilot named Charlie Fox shot at the car carrying the German military mastermind and knocked it off the road, putting Germany's "Desert Fox" out of commission.

No. 4 - A Tie! & F-86 Sabre

MiG 15 Manufacturer: Mikoyan Gurevich Design Bureau Power Plant: Klimov VK-1 turbojet Top Speed: 668 mph Armament: One 37mm N-37 cannon and two 23mm NR-23 cannon AND F-86 Sabre Manufacturer: North American Power Plant: General Electric J47 engine Top Speed: 685 mph Armament: Six .50-caliber machine guns and eight 5-inch rockets

Compared to today's fighters both these jets are underpowered and primitive but few aircraft have done so well at the job they were designed to do. Both the F-86 Sabre and MiG 15 were the right aircraft at the right time and each richly deserve a prominent place in aviation history. Both designs relied heavily on captured German swept-wing technology and British engine design, so for innovation the MiG and Sabre are equally matched. Both fighters were produced in large numbers, but the MiG edges in front of the Sabre in the production category because of its renowned simplicity. Both jets have similar service records. The result? They are inseparable in the rankings: the MiG 15 and F-86 Sabre tie for fourth place. No. 3: F-4 Phantom Manufacturer: McDonnell Douglass Power Plant: Two J79 Spey turbojet afterburning engines Top Speed: 1,485 mph Armament: Four AIM 7 Sparrow and four AIM 9 Sidewinder missiles. Produced in large numbers the F-4 Phantom has an unrivaled service history. But the aircraft really earns its third place ranking for being fast, durable and deadly. Phantoms were the test bed for missile technology - and the aircraft held five speed records for an impressive 13 years before being beaten by the aircraft featured in the No. 2 spot on our list of the top 10 fighters of all time. No. 2: F-15C Eagle Manufacturer: McDonnell Douglass Power Plant: Two Pratt & Whitney F-100-PW-100 afterburning turbofans Top Speed: Mach 2.5 Armament: One 20-mm cannon, four AIM-7F Sparrow and four AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles No other fighter in the history of aerial combat has a record that even comes close to the Eagle's. The F-15 is far superior to most of its brethren - way better than the F-4 - accelerating better, turning better, handling better.

In fact, such is the reputation of the F-15 that during the opening phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Saddam Hussein's air force simply refused to get in the air. They knew the F-15 would just knock them out of the sky.

No. 1: P-51D Mustang

Manufacturer: North American Aviation Power Plant: 1600 hp Packard-built Merlin 61 piston engine Top Speed: 437 mph Armament: Six wing-mounted .50-caliber machine guns

Fitted with external drop-tanks the Mustang's range was extended to almost 2,000 miles, making it the only Allied fighter capable of protecting the Allied bombers on long-range, deep-penetration raids.

The Mustang performed its job so well that after its introduction in 1944, casualty rates for bomber crews were reduced by 75 percent. In fact, American P51s destroyed almost 5,000 enemy aircraft in Europe - making it the highest scoring U. S. fighter in the European theater of operations.
