Erweiterte Analysemethoden für Urbanisierungsprozesse dargestellt an acht Weltregionen
Urbanisierungsprozesse entfalten sich heute weit über Ballungsräume hinaus und verändern Agrargebiete, Regenwälder, Wüsten und Ozeane tiefgreifend. Untrennbar mit den Ökologien der Erde verbunden, verursacht diese Entwicklung vielfältige planetarische Krisen, die dringend neue Konzepte und Kartografien des Städtischen erfordern.
Anhand von Analysen und Feldforschungen schildert dieses Buch die Auswirkungen der "extended Urbanization" in acht Weltregionen. Es bietet eine Neudefinition der Begriffe "Stadt", "urban" und "Urbanisierung" und skizziert urbane Agenden zur Bewältigung der planetarischen Herausforderungen.
Dieses Buch dezentriert die Perspektive auf das Städtische, stellt urbane Kon ikte in den Vordergrund und überwindet die analytischen Trennungen von Stadt-Land und Nord-Süd.

  • Grundlagenwerk für die Urbanismusforschung
  • Neudefinition der Begriffe "Stadt", "urban" und "Urbanisierung"
  • Analyse der Urbanisierungsprozesse in acht Weltregionen
