In a world of cities, suburbanisation is the most visible and
pervasive phenomenon. Global sprawl engulfs us but it does so in
remarkably differentiated ways. While the single-family home
subdivisions of North America remain the "classical case," there
are now many other forms of suburbanism around the globe. The high
rise housing estates around many European and Canadian cities, the
belts and wedges of squatter settlements in the global south, the
burgeoning megacity peripheries between Istanbul and Shanghai and
the technopoles and edge cities in all corners of the world are all
part of a pervasive trend towards global suburbanisms. Suburban
Constellations provides a first account of this global development.
Twenty-two of the most well-known global urban scholars analyse the
multiple manifestations of suburbanisation and suburbanism. They
are joined by artistic and illustrative contributions. Overviews of
suburbanization trends in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Australia
and Asia complete Suburban Constellations.
