Languages: German, English. A cross-media project including digital supplementary content available exclusively with the app and book. A highly relevant topic: the continuously growing cities and the associated challenges. Insights into ten megacities around the world: Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, New York City, London, Istanbul, Cairo, Seoul, Shanghai, Mumbai, Bangkok. "Megacities" is a visually stunning tribute to the largest cities of our civilization. In this high-quality photo book, the three authors Christoph Mohr, Oliver Fülling, and Bastian Barenbock showcase daily life in ten megacities across Asia, Africa, America, and Europe. They captured urban life in Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, New York City, London, Istanbul, Cairo, Seoul, Shanghai, Mumbai, and Bangkok. Over 150 photos and numerous interviews provide not only a deep insight into the daily routines there but also address central questions of urban planning. How do people live and dwell in such environments, and how do they spend their leisure time as residents? Why do informal settlements arise, and where are the public spaces that people frequent? How does each city deal with issues of overpopulation, sustainability, environmental protection, and globalization? The uniqueness of this impressive coffee-table book lies in the contrast of its portrayal. The photographers succeed in depicting wealth and poverty, culture and crime, tradition, festivals, customs, religion, and innovation. "Megacities" is a unique testament to architecture and the local population, unlike anything seen before. For all fans of street photography, this comprehensive photo book offers a dazzling array of impressions. The book provides visual answers to many questions that people have when thinking about these million-strong metropolises and is filled with exciting additional information. A fantastic gift for any city lover or globetrotter.
