Living in the Endless City

The Urban Age Project by the London School of Economics and Deutsche Bank's Alfred Herrhausen Society. Edited by Ricky Burdett and Deyan Sudjic. Foreword by Wolfgang Nowak. In 2050, over three quarters of the world’s population will live in cities. This follow-up to Phaidon’s successful 'The Endless City' is a close look at the issues that affect cities, and thus human life across the globe in the twenty-first century. Based on a series of conferences held by the London School of Economics, Living in the Endless City examines Mumbai, Sao Paolo and Istanbul through a series of essays by global scholars and thinkers, photographs illustrating key aspects of life in the three cities, and compellingly presented analytical data. 430 Seiten mit zahlreichen Farbabb., gebunden (Phaidon Press 2011) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
