The many faces of the city : exploring the metropolis

Summary: "This reader presents a collection of several essays highlighting different aspects of the urban condition. Contributions range from chapters that use literature to explore the city to chapters that focus on specific aspects like, for example, urban shopping malls or different types of maps that may be used to visualize structure and dynamic flows in the metropolitan context. It also contains chapters that critically discuss problematic trends including fortification and monitoring of urban space. The collection also includes chapters that deal with morphological questions related to urban growth and development. It also features contributions that focus on the urban poor and their experience of living in the city. This book is a great starting point to explore the metropolis and to critically reflect about specific challenges large urban agglomerations are facing in many parts of the world"--
