The mid-polis is the transitional zone between urban centers and the suburban edges of the expanding metropolis. It is a shifting terrain that blends with adjacent districts and generates a range of urban configurations. This liminal metropolitan zone offers designers opportunities to rethink livability, connectivity, and sustainability.

This book presents a collection of mid-polis conditions from around the world, gathering contributions from architects, planners, and artists who propose strategies for transforming these spaces into more coherent, sustainable, and enriching urban environments.
