Résumé:
Every great city is constantly growing and dying. Carl Sandburg described Chicago in 1916 as "building, breaking, rebuilding." Chicago invented and then reinvented the skycraper, making it reach higher than anywhere else in the world. Visalli photographs the architectural masterpieces famous throughout the world-from Louis Sullivan's ornemental facades to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's sleek office towers-as well as the works of the new generation of the Chicago school of architecture. But Chicago is about more than buildings : Visalli shoots the dark girders of the El, the taverns open all night, the pomp of Michigan avenue, and verdant green Lincoln Park. With more than 200 images, "Chicago" captures the visual paradoxes and triuphs of this great American city.

The photographs were taken across the globe and extend the oblique point of view he developed in ''Fernweh'' (2020). Interspersed among the images are texts that emerge like intimate signals from our age of crisis, mining further the exquisite linguistic control that characterizes Cole’s novels ''Open City'' (2011) and ''Tremor'' (2023). The result is a work of strange beauty that startles and consoles in equal measure.

Résumé:
In "The New American Village", Thall captures four components of the new edge city -- corporate, commercial, domestic, and environmental -- in a way that no previous photographer has achieved. To find the stark but provocatively beautiful images that appear in the book, Thall spent years exploring the western and northwestern suburbs of Chicago, photographing remnants of open land and farm structures, the process of clearing and construction, corporate headquarters, townhouse developments, model homes, office parks, strip malls, and the many aspects of nature that remain, in one way or another, in these miniature cities.

But this was a vocation that avoided the utopian fantasies of the 1960s and 1970s and instead strove for rigor. In the essays collected in this book, De Carlo shows how the idea of participatory architecture can open the way to a realistic, fully realizable utopia—in theory, but also in practice: in his urban planning of the city center of Rimini and in his architectural plan for the village of Matteotti in Terni.

In "Cities in the Urban Age", Robert A. Beauregard considers the city as a cauldron for four haunting contradictions. First, cities are equally defined by both their wealth and their poverty.

Résumé:
In "Cities in the Urban Age", Robert A. Beauregard considers the city as a cauldron for four haunting contradictions. First, cities are equally defined by both their wealth and their poverty. Second, cities are simultaneously environmentally destructive and yet promise sustainability. Third, cities encourage rule by political machines and oligarchies, even as they are essentially democratic and at least nominally open to all. And fourth, city life promotes tolerance among disparate groups, even as the friction among them often erupts into violence. Beauregard offers no simple solutions or proposed remedies for these contradictions. Without these four tensions, cities wouldn’t be cities. Rather, Beauregard argues that only by recognizing these ambiguities and contradictions can we even begin to understand our moral obligations, as well as the clearest paths toward equality, justice, and peace in urban settings.

Old neighbourhoods were renewed with gleaming arcades of iron and glass prefiguring contemporary shopping malls, and entire neighbourhoods were built from scratch. Marrinan plots the zigzag trajectory of the monuments, spaces, and habits of a city that both looks back to the past and forward in time with all the optimism, self-doubts, and creative energy of a culture poised at the threshold of modernity.
