Aprašymas

From the penthouse to the sewers the political geography of the vertical city
"Vertical" is a brilliant re-imagining of the world we live in. Today we live in a world that can no longer be read as a two-dimensional map. In "Vertical" Stephen Graham rewrites the city at every level, calling for a a new understanding of our surroundings that takes into account above and below: why Dubai has been built to be seen from GoogleEarth; how the superrich in Sao Paulo live their penthouse lives far from the street; why London billionaires build vast subterranean basements rather than move house. "Vertical" will make you look at the city anew: from the viewfinders of drones, satellites, from the top of skyscrapers, at street-level and from underground bunkers: this is a new politics of space and geography."
