Published to accompany the exhibition presented at the CCA, Montréal, November 26, 2008 to April 19, 2009. 'Actions' explores how the design of contemporary cities can be described and informed by four key human actions: gardening, recycling, playing, walking. These are crucial actions determining the character of the contemporary urban environment. The book investigates the relation of the city, not only with its own built environment, but also with a more complex range of social economic and environ-mental issues.
