In this book, the editors Christian Schmid and Monika Streule suggest a radical change of perspective to decipher the rapidly transforming urban landscapes across the planet. Based on a novel cartography and on ethnographic and historical explorations of Tokyo, Hong Kong / Shenzhen / Dongguan, Kolkata, Istanbul, Lagos, Paris, Mexico City, and Los Angeles, six new evaluation models for urbanisation processes are presented.
