Summary:
Architecture schools are currently being built all over the world. The main reasons for this are new space requirements and the pursuit of excellence in education.

Die Hauptgründe dafür liegen in neuen Raumanforderungen und im Streben nach Exzellenz in der Ausbildung.

This third volume in the “Essays on the Political Economy of Urban Form” series addresses contemporary power relations and their effects on urban and natural landscapes. Edited by Marc Angélil and Rainer Hehl, it explores geopolitics in the Amazon, Ecuador’s infrastructural subtraction, circulatory urbanism in Mumbai and urban development on Brazil’s frontier.
