The picture book CITIES showcases the fascinating diversity of cities in their various forms around the world. Spectacular images surprise with numerous unexpected perspectives—cities in extreme locations, oversized ghost towns planned for millions of people, captivating floor plans, spectacular architecture, as well as systematically planned and chaotically grown structures alternate and reveal themselves in the light of the colors from all continents. The dynamics of rise and fall are made visible, as is the current, ever-accelerating development of megacities of almost unimaginable scale. A collaboration between eoVision Media and Airbus Defence and Space has enabled the "extraterrestrial" view from high-resolution satellites of the latest generation.
