Wie können wir die planetare Urbanisierung vor dem Hintergrund der Klimakrise kartografisch darstellen? In Data-Spheres of Planetary Urbanization widmet sich das Urban Theory Lab dieser Frage, indem es eine Reihe experimenteller Visualisierungen des weltweiten urbanen Gefüges zusammenstellt. Das Buch kehrt die allgemeine, stadtzentrierte Sicht auf die Urbanisierung um und zeigt stattdessen, dass die gegenwärtige Urbanisierung einen Großteil der Erde umfasst, und damit auch scheinbar entlegene Gebiete, Wildnisgebiete und Ozeane. Städte produzieren nicht nur Werte, sondern sind auch entropische schwarze Löcher, die andernorts entstandene Überschüsse aufnehmen und Abfälle in die Biosphäre zurückgeben. Nichtstädtische Räume bilden daher die metabolischen Grundlagen der planetarischen Urbanisierung. Mit einem Vorwort von Jason W. Moore, einem Nachwort von Alexander Arroyo sowie Beiträgen von Martín Arboleda, Danika Cooper, Kian Goh, Julie Michelle Klinger, Roi Salgueiro Barrio und Hashim Sarkis Zeigt die Auswirkungen der weltweiten Urbanisierung in 5 aufschlussreichen Geodatenvisualisierungen Unterstreicht die Bedeutung von dienenden Landschaften außerhalb der Stadt Versammelt theoretische und methodologische Texte des Urban Theory Lab sowie kritische Kommentare.…

How can we map the urbanization of the planet in an era of climate breakdown? The Urban Theory Lab’s Data-Spheres of Planetary Urbanization confronts this question by assembling a series of experimental visualizations of the worldwide urban fabric. This book reverses the mainstream, city-centric perspective on urbanization, showing, instead, that the world of contemporary urbanization encompasses much of the planet, including apparently remote areas, wildlands, and oceans. Cities are not only producers of value, but also entropic black holes that consume surpluses produced elsewhere and project waste back into the planetary biosphere. Non-city spaces are, correspondingly, the metabolic bases of planetary urbanization.
With a foreword by Jason W. Moore, an afterword by Alexander Arroyo, and contributions by Martín Arboleda, Danika Cooper, Kian Goh, Julie Michelle Klinger, Roi Salgueiro Barrio, and Hashim Sarkis
