Summary:
Contributions by Agnes Förster, Alain Thierstein, Christian Kruse, Simin Davoudi, Maurits Schaafsma, Wilhelm Natrup, Reinhard Frei, Wil Zonneveld, Heiri Leuthold, Ursula Stein, Henrik Schultz, Julian Petrin, Remo Burkhard, Eckart Lange, Urs Primas, Meret Wandeler, Beatrix Bencseky. For the majority of politicians, planners, institutions, and residents the features of mega-city regions remain invisible. They are scarcely charted; there are no concepts for representing them or any direct sensory understanding of them in everyday life. The book is based on the understanding that the visual depiction of mega-city regions is fundamental to identifying, acting, and developing within existing concentrations of urban populations. Through essays from various disciplines the book approaches the phenomenon and discusses the necessity to visualize mega-city regions.
