Abstract:

Does the designation "city" still apply to modern day urban zones with sprawling edges? Is it still possible to talk about the countryside if one encounters similar densities there as in the city? Does the dispersal of the city also mean its dissolvation? This book documents and analyses the impact of sprawl on the built space, intriduces a new conceptual apparatus and puts forward spatial propositions for the hybrid urbanity of the after-sprawl.
