"By the year 200 there may be over 1,000 cities in the world with a million of more inhabitants. Already thirteen areas deserve the title of "megalopolis", including the eastern seaboard of the Great Lakes complex in the United States, the smaller denser area of England, and the huge population surrounding the Rhine. How is man to remain human in the coming wilderness of steel, concrete and tarmac? It is to this problem that this collection of more than forty essays is addresses. The governing factors of nature, the needs of man, society, buildings and construction, and the networks of transport and communications provide headings for articles by W. H. Auden, C. A. Doxiadas, Bertrand de Jouvenel, Margaret Mead, Buckminster Fuller, Arnold Toynebee, C. H. Waddington and a number of architects, planners and sociologists. Finally, the editors have assembled a group of articles which provide a case study of the greatest complex of all, the Tokaido megalopolis in Japan, where nearly 70 million people live." -- Publisher.
