How will the city, space and architecture develop in the 21st century? Will the cities be able to maintain their individual nature, or will the future cityscape be uniform and standardized? With the joint development of cities in the global network, what ensures continuity between local traditions and innovations? In short: what is taking place in the metropolis right now, and what is in store? In order to shed light on these and many other questions, the anthology introduces a number of theories about the city as well as projects from Barcelona, Berlin, Copenhagen, Dublin, Milan and Rotterdam. This book addresses audiences who may have a professional, moral or humanistic interest in the city on the verge of the 21st century.
