{"product_id":"the-horizontal-metropolis-chiara-cavalieri-9783038600626","title":"The Horizontal Metropolis: A Radical Project","description":"We usually think of cities as dense and vertical--but in reality most cities extend vast distances in a more horizontal fashion, with less density and lower-rising buildings. This book invites us to rethink the relationship between that center and its periphery, revealing that dispersed condition as a potential asset rather than a limit, offering the possibility of constructing a sustainable and innovative new urban dimension. Taking up the concept of \"desakota,\" which describes areas--typically occurring in Asia--situated outside the traditional urban zone, \u003ci\u003eThe Horizontal Metropolis\u003c\/i\u003e investigates such areas alongside examples in the United States, Italy, and Switzerland, highlighting the advantages of the concept and its relevance to economic, ecological, and social questions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chiara Cavalieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038600628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038600626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Park Publishing (WI)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Chiara Cavalieri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448032243967,"sku":"9783038600626","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6aa26357-5c0f-42b5-a2f3-cf4dcb660abf.jpg?v=1777236436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-horizontal-metropolis-chiara-cavalieri-9783038600626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
