Summary:
Memories carried by water drench our biographies and shared history. In this book, edited and curated by Moniek Driesse, the past, present, and future imaginaries that govern our relationship with water are permitted to draw maps that can serve as tools for urban administrators, researchers, and citizens who live the reality determined by them. With this approach, long-term memories carried by the urban landscape reflect into possible narratives of hope for the future. The focus is on Mexico City, where rivers have turned into highways and subterranean basins are drying out, presenting new dangers to the city.

Summary:
Over the past century, Berlin has undergone countless transformations. Rapid growth, destruction, survival, and finally a halting revival as a twin city reunited once more. This last phase has been characterised by stagnation and even shrinkage, which in turn strengthened Berlin’s unusual configuration as a polycentric settlement with no clear core. This atlas of the special, strange, or undiscovered phenomena of the German capital is structured in eighteen chapters and offers a fascinating insider’s look at its architectural geography, urban history, political upheavals, scenic spaces, curiosities, and more.

On le suit classiquement à Alexandrie, Tombouctou ou Venise, mais aussi sur les pentes des glaciers du Montana, sur les rives du Danube, le long de la rivière souterraine de Londres, jusqu’aux confins de l’Inde, de la Libye, de la Colombie, de la Chine ou de la Jamaïque.

L'île aux Démons, la mer de Verrazano, les cités de Norumbega et de Cibola ou encore le lac de Conibas ont ceci en commun : ils n'existent pas. Pourtant, ces lieux ont longtemps été représentés sur les cartes géographiques de l'Amérique du Nord et décrits dans les textes qui les accompagnent. Comment ces mirages cartographiques ont-il pu apparaître et persister aussi longtemps? Alban Berson, cartothécaire à Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, nous conduit dans l'atelier d'un graveur vénitien, dans la mâture d'une caraque normande d'où un marin fourbu aperçoit une promesse, dans le sillage funeste d'un conquistador, près d'un village autochtone où un homme trace pour la première fois sur du papier l'image qu'il se fait de son monde.

A beautifully illustrated book with distinctive maps dating back to the 16th Century, when New York was known as New Amsterdam and founded by the Dutch as a commercial trading post, right up to the present day. Mapping New York provides a pictorial history of the city – both documenting it as a leader in commerce and as one of the most built up urban areas in the world. This book focuses on maps from the 20th and 21st century, thematically arranged with maps on population, military, water, transport, commerce, crime, as well as planning and developing maps, and boundaries of the five boroughs. Featuring well known graphics such as the New York City subway map, artists’ representations include Claes Oldenburg’s Soft Manhattan #1: Postal Codes from 1966 and the poem, “Manhattan,” in the shape of the city by Howard Horowitz.

Summary:
In winter 2006, under the stewardship of philosopher Wolfgang Scheppe, a collective of students from the IUAV University in Venice fanned out to subject their city to a forensic structural mapping. Out of this fieldwork, conducted in the Situationist psychogeography tradition, there developed a three-year urban project that produced an enormous archive comprising tens of thousands of photographs, case studies, movement profiles and statistic data. From this archive, Venice, sited as it is at the junction of three migration corridors, emerges as a classic instance of the increasingly globalized city in which a decimated inner-city population meets armies of tourists and a parallel economy supported by illegal immigrants. In a map that cleverly branches out into visual essays, written essays, data maps and interviews, the globalized territory of Venice is microscopically dissected and defined as an urban metaphor, the city becoming an “atlas of a global situation.”
