    Summary note
    "Cities of Change: Addis Ababa acknowledges the heterogeneous and at times messy conditions of urban territories, and makes a case for their transformation over time. One of the key aspects of the work encompasses scenario planning: designing processes for potential 'futures' according to varying constraints. Urban design as a discipline is reframed in view of an understanding of the city as a dynamic system, one delineated by stocks and flows of resources--with specific attention given to fluxes of people, energy, water, material, capital, space, and information."--Page [4] of cover.
