Knox' in-situ studies present 50 especially significant city
districts from the whole of Europe in words and pictures. His field
research focuses on typologically outstanding city districts that
have developed a high degree of individuality. Cities are the
symbiosis of diverse districts: the smaller units serve to provide
an important identity function: business centers and amusement
districts such as the City and the West End in London, technology
and science quarters (Adlershof in Berlin), designer districts such
as the Zona Tortona in Milan and the Fashion District in New York.
Two other factors that play a major role are the conversion of
industrial wastelands and new districts colored by a supranational
capitalism or a sustainable or dubious planning - such as the
Vauban residential quarter in Freiburg in South Germany or the
Lower Ninth District in New Orleans. Paul Knox also always analyzes
how and why these districts have turned out the way they are:
outlining their visible and also their hidden and often blurred
"biography". A fascinating journey through space and time!
