Description
The Atlas of Cities presents a unique taxonomy of cities, exploring their physical, economic, social, and political structures, as well as their interactions with each other and their hinterlands. From ancient foundational cities to modern "smart" cities, this comprehensive overview examines the patterns of production, consumption, generation, and decay of our defining urban form.
Expert contributors explore how the development of cities reflects common themes in urban development, including the mobilizing function, the generative function, decision-making capacity, and transformative capacity. Stunning info-graphics, maps, charts, tables, and photographs bring this complex subject to life.
This atlas provides a valuable insight into the complexities of city life, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities that cities present, and where they might be going in the future.
