O knihe

Extended methods of analysis for urbanisation processes illustrated in eight world regions.

Urbanisation processes are unfolding far beyond the realm of agglomerations, profoundly transforming agrarian areas, rain forests, deserts and oceans. Inextricably bound to the earth's ecologies, these developments are causing manifold planetary crises which require urgent scrutiny and call for new conceptions and cartographies of the urban beyond-the-city.

Through detailed analysis and fieldwork captured in text, photographs and hand-drawn maps, the book portrays the effects of extended urbanisation in eight world regions. It offers a redefinition of the very notions of the "city", "urban" and "urbanisation" and outlines new urban agendas developed to address planetary challenges.

This book decenters the perspective on the urban, foregrounds urban struggle, and transcends rural-urban and north-south divides.
