Phaidon (available in Amazon Stores)
The companion of Phaidon's popular The
Endless City, Living in the Endless City will add the cities of
Mumbai, Sao Paulo and Istanbul to the six cities of the first volume with the
same mix of compelling photographs, in-depth and beautifully presented data,
and smart writing by global thinkers. Each city is explored in a series of
essays that address vital themes, from security to climate change, looking
closely at the problems that face contemporary cities and examining a variety
of solutions. Like the first book, the new one includes the best writing and
information from the Urban Age project, a series of conferences held by the
London School of Economics that explore vital field of urban development. Drawing
on the work of scholars from all over the globe, this book will give the reader
access to a wealth of ideas and data about Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Istanbul and, by
extension, urban life across the globe. In addition to this close focus on each
of the three cities, Living in the Endless City will feature analysis of
surveys done in each city. Editors Deyan Sudjic of the Design Museum and Ricky
Burdett of the LSE have also chosen the best contributors to both this book and
The Endless City to write thematic essays that discuss the ideas and the
lessons they have drawn across all nine cities.
