<strong>Présentation par l'éditeur :</strong><br />
<br />
At the turn of the twenty-first century, the world is faced with an unprecedented challenge. It must address a fundamental shift in the world's population towards the cities, and away from mankind's rural roots. Today, for the first time in history, more than half of the global population resides in urban areas - a number likely to reach a staggering 75 per cent by 2050.<br />
<br />
The Endless City: The Urban Age Project by the London School of Economics and Deutsche Bank's Alfred Herrhausen Society is an unparalleled investigation into the world's urban future. Taking six major world cities as its focal point, the book examines the key social, structural and economic factors that are critical to creating a thriving modern city.<br />
<br />
Authoritatively edited by Ricky Burdett and Deyan Sudjic, with essays by internationally renowned contributors from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds, The Endless City presents a pioneering initiative on the future of cities.<br />
