A unique colour dictionary of international urban design and phenomenal
photographic reference, The Colour of Cities documents the distinctive

Middle East, Latin America and Asia. The book features beautiful
original colour photographs by the author, who is an acclaimed artist
and world authority on the three-dimensional use of colour and other
noted architectural photographers. Topics covered include how cultural
colour preferences are grounded in vision differences in different
geographic locations and the similarities within diversity in streets,
facades, plazas, boundaries and marketplaces. A reference section
provides you with typical colour palettes for each country, complete
with thumbnail photographic examples.
