Author: Nicholas A. Phelps, Roger Keil, Paul J. Maginn (eds.)
The majority of the peripheries of the planet’s urban regions are living spaces and working landscapes. Despite this, we understand little about the centrality of urban peripheries as the sites for some of the most imaginative, anticipatory, and purposeful instances of urbanism. This volume demonstrates the centrality of urban peripheries with a view to reworking urban, architectural, design, planning, infrastructural, sociological, ecological and geographical theory from the outside in.The book also examines the relationships of these new centralities to the metabolisms, assemblages, and urban political ecologies beyond the built and imagined materialities of their immediate situation.
ISBN 9783986121440. JOVIS. pb. 272 pages. fully illustrated. 17 x 24 cm.
