Edward Robbins discusses the ways in which architects and urban designers are seeking not only to provide adequate housing but to build a better world. He takes a critical look at housing design proposals such as those of the New Urbanist's and questions the extent to which housing can and should be designed to play a significant role in creating neighbourhoods, communities and more equitable cities. 

Edward Robbins lectures in Urban Design at the Graduate School of Design, Harvard.
