An authoritative - and fascinating - investigation into the spatial and social dynamics of cities at a global scale Shaping Cities in an Urban Age is the third and final addition to Phaidon's hugely successful Urban Age series, published in collaboration with the London School of Economics (LSE). Generously illustrated with photographs, visual data, and statistics, and featuring a series of essays written by leading people in their fields, Shaping Cities in an Urban Age addresses our most urgent contemporary and future urban issues by examining a set of key forces that have combined to create the city as we know it today. From the publisher of The Endless City and Living in the Endless City. Bis 2050 werden 2,5 Milliarden mehr Menschen in den Städten leben. Eine Zukunft, die wir schon heute mitgestalten können, denn fast 20 % der Infrastruktur muss noch gebaut werden. Shaping Cities in an Urban Age bietet dank der 275 Bilder, einschließlich der Visualisierung von Vergleichsdaten und Statistiken, und durch die 37 Essays führender Politiker oder Wissenschaftler neue Perspektiven für den städtischen Wandel.
