One of the most troubling consequences of theglobal financial collapse was the midstream abandonment of several largescale speculative urban and suburban projects.
The resulting scars on the landscape, large subdivisions with only markedout plots and halffinished roads, are the subject of The City That Never Was, an eyeopening look at what happens when development, particularly what the author calls "speculative urbanization" is out of sync with financial reality.
Presenting historical and recent examples from around the worldfrom the sprawl of the US Sun Belt and the unoccupied towns of western China, to the "ghost estates" of Irelandand focusing on case studies in Spain, Marcinkoski proposes an ecologically based model in place of the capricious economic and political factors that typically drive development today.
