Résumé:
A multitude of port cities dot Europe’s coastline, each with its own history and relationship to sea transportation and development. In the era of climate change, these cities can offer paradigms and guidance for sustainable development. Taking a comprehensive, map-based approach, "Port city atlas" offers visualizations of 100 port city territories located on four seas and connected through shared waters—from Amsterdam, Antwerp, Barcelona, Bilbao, Bordeaux, Bremen, Calais, Cork, Dover, Dublin, Felixstowe, Fredericia, Ghent, Hamburg, Helsinki, Kiel, Københavns and La Rochelle to Limerick, Liverpool, London, Lübeck, Malmø, Palermo, Ravenna, Riga, Rønne, Rotterdam, Sköldvik, Stockholm, Tallinn, Venice, Zeebrugge and countless others. Conceived as a reference work, "Port city atlas" provides a foundation for comparative analysis beyond the case-study approach, offering a uniquely sea-oriented take on the understanding and urban design of Europe.

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.
