Add to basketPaperback. Wie koennen wir die planetare Urbanisierung vor dem Hintergrund der Klimakrise kartografisch darstellen? In Data-Spheres of Planetary Urbanization widmet sich das Urban Theory Lab dieser Frage, indem es eine Reihe experimenteller Visualisierungen des weltweiten urbanen Gefueges zusammenstellt. Das Buch kehrt die allgemeine, stadtzentrierte Sicht auf die Urbanisierung um und zeigt stattdessen, dass die gegenwaertige Urbanisierung einen Grossteil der Erde umfasst, und damit auch scheinbar entlegene Gebiete, Wildnisgebiete und Ozeane. Staedte produzieren nicht nur Werte, sondern sind auch entropische schwarze Loecher, die andernorts entstandene UEberschuesse aufnehmen und Abfaelle in die Biosphaere zurueckgeben. Nichtstaedtische Raeume bilden daher die metabolischen Grundlagen der planetarischen Urbanisierung. Mit einem Vorwort von Jason W. Moore, einem Nachwort von Alexander Arroyo sowie Beitraegen von Martin Arboleda, Danika Cooper, Kian Goh, Julie Michelle Klinger, Roi Salgueiro Barrio und Hashim Sarkis Zeigt die Auswirkungen der weltweiten Urbanisierung in 5 aufschlussreichen Geodatenvisualisierungen Unterstreicht die Bedeutung von dienenden Landschaften ausserhalb der Stadt Versammelt theoretische und methodologische Texte des Urban Theory Lab sowie kritische Kommentare Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

How can we map the urbanization of the planet in an era of climate breakdown? The Urban Theory Lab’s Data-Spheres of Planetary Urbanization confronts this question by assembling a series of experimental visualizations of the worldwide urban fabric. This book reverses the mainstream, city-centric perspective on urbanization, showing, instead, that the world of contemporary urbanization encompasses much of the planet, including apparently remote areas, wildlands, and oceans. Cities are not only producers of value, but entropic black holes that consume surpluses produced elsewhere and project waste back into the planetary biosphere. Non-city spaces are, correspondingly, the metabolic bases of planetary urbanization.
With a foreword by Jason W. Moore, an afterword by Alexander Arroyo, and contributions by Martín Arboleda, Danika Cooper, Kian Goh, Julie Michelle Klinger, Roi Salgueiro Barrio, and Hashim Sarkis
