Kees Christiaanse (author), Jessica Bridger (editor), Joris Jehle (assistant editor), Studio Joost Grootens (graphic design).
Kees Christiaanse is one of the field’s most influential forces in urban design over the last half-century. Textbook spans 30 years of the well-known urban designer and architect Kees Christiaanse’s thinking about cities. He is responsible for large urban projects, including Hamburg HafenCity, Rotterdam’s waterfront revitalization and London’s Olympic Legacy Plan.
As assistant editor, it was my responsibility to coordinate the collaboration between author, editor, publisher, and graphic designer. Furthermore, I translated many of Kees’ articles and essays from either German or Dutch to English, assisted in the editing of the texts, and in the selection of texts to be included in the book.
