Author: Ricky Burdett, Izabela Anna Moren
Complex urban ecosystem as well as a historical–architectural unicum without equal in the world, Rome is a point of reference in the evolution of cities on a global scale. Despite this, its connection with other cities is little documented and understood. The exhibition catalogue recounts the investigation behind the exhibition and portrays Rome through two complementary perspectives: the objective analysis of its urban reality and the subjective resonance it exerts in the world’s imagination.Curated by Ricky Burdett and Izabela Anna Moren, and enriched by texts by Keti Lelo, Paola Viganò, and Jack Self, as well as infographic plates, thematic maps, and an unpublished photographic section by Marina Caneve.How does Rome compare to other world cities? Is it larger or smaller, more cohesive or more fragmented than Paris, London or Istanbul? What impact does an ageing population have on the everyday dynamics when compared to the exponential growth and young age profile of African or Asian metropolises, such as Cairo, Lagos or Mumbai? – Ricky Burdett
ISBN 9791254931813. Edizioni Corraini. pb. Paperback with flaps, illustrated, maps, 24 x 17 cms.
