In a series of essays, the process of urbanisation – a human
mega-trend acquiring unprecedented scale and speed as globalisation
proceeds – is examined in the most diverse contexts and stages of
development. Drawing on scientific references and identifying
recurring themes like dispersion, privatisation and vitality,
Fiedler devises the glossary for a cross-cultural understanding of
the global urban system emerging. Images and anecdotal evidence
reconnect these themes to local realities. The tone of the essays
conveys a post-voluntarist attitude, derived from many years of
professional experience – critical of both neoliberal practices
and determinist ideas. To “condemn the reality” of global
urbanization “is fruitless”, writes Johannes Fiedler in this
unlimited view of a world of constant motion, subject no longer to
just its planetary rotations, but also to the constant push and
pull of its various populations, some of whose giant constructions
shift the earth’s axis. From the foreword by Lars Lerup
