Description



Book Synopsis



Welche Rolle spielen außerhalb der Stadt liegende Räume bei der Urbanisierung und wie verändern sie sich im Laufe der Geogeschichte des Kapitalismus? Diesen Fragen widmen sich drei Forscher des Urban Theory Lab. Dabei verstehen sie planetarische Urbanisierung als ein sich entwickelndes Netz metabolischer Beziehungen zwischen Städten und den verschiedenen die Städte unterstützenden operational landscapes. Nach der kritischen Analyse herkömmlicher stadttheoretischer Ansätze und eigenen Studien zu operational landscapes in verschiedenen Regionen der Welt kommen sie zu dem Schluss, dass die kapitalistische Form der Urbanisierung eine metabolische Monstrosität ist, die die biosphärischen Grundlagen menschlichen und nichtmenschlichen Lebens zerstört.

  • Planetarische Urbanisierung als ein sich verdichtendes Netz aus Beziehungen zwischen Städten und operational landscapes
  • Kritische Bewertung und Aktualisierung der Stadttheorie in Bezug auf die gegenwärtigen ökologischen Veränderungen und Krisen
  • Analysiert die wesentliche Rolle von Bergbau, Landwirtschaft und Logistik in der Dynamik der kapitalistischen Urbanisierung
