The companion of Phaidon's popular u003ciu003eThe Endless Cityu003c/iu003e,u003ciu003e Living in the Endless Cityu003c/iu003e will add the cities of Mumbai, Sao Paulo and Istanbul to the six cities of the first volume with the same mix of compelling photographs, in-depth and beautifully presented data, and smart writing by global thinkers. Each city is explored in a series of essays that address vital themes, from security to climate change, looking closely at the problems that face contemporary cities and examining a variety of solutions. Like the first book, the new one includes the best writing and information from the Urban Age project, a series of conferences held by the London School of Economics that explore vital field of urban development. Drawing on the work of scholars from all over the globe, this book will give the reader access to a wealth of ideas and data about Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Istanbul and, by extension, urban life across the globe. In addition to this close focus on each of the three cities, u003ciu003eLiving in the Endless Cityu003c/iu003e will feature analysis of surveys done in each city. Editors Deyan Sudjic of the Design Museum and Ricky Burdett of the LSE have also chosen the best contributors to both this book and u003ciu003eThe Endless Cityu003c/iu003e to write thematic essays that discuss the ideas and the lessons they have drawn across all nine cities.
