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 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cities and towns $x Growth. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85026134 650 0 $a Land use, Urban. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85074353 650 0 $a Space (Architecture) $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a Cities and towns $x Growth. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861781 650 7 $a Land use, Urban. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00991631 650 7 $a Space (Architecture) $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127611 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Urban. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / City Planning & Urban Development. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ARCHITECTURE / General. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024958.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=433B8396F11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
