Abstract 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...With a foreword by Jason W. Moore, an afterword by Alexander Arroyo, and contributions by Mart̕n Arboleda, Danika Cooper, Kian Goh, Julie Michelle Klinger, Roi Salgueiro Barrio, and Hashim Sarkis. Shows the impact of planetary urbanization in 500 beautiful and revealing spatial data visualizations Highlights the importance of operational landscapes beyond the city Assembles theoretical and methodological texts by the Urban Theory Lab as well as critical commentaries"--Publisher's website.
