Languages: German, English. A cross-media project including digital additional content available exclusively with the app and book. The timely topic: ever-growing cities and the challenges associated with them. 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 everyday 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 daily routines but also address central questions of urban planning. How do people live and dwell in such environments, and how do residents spend their leisure time? 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 remarkable aspect of this impressive coffee-table book is the contrast in 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, offering a perspective never seen before. For all fans of street photography, this comprehensive photo book provides a dazzling array of impressions. The book offers visual answers to many questions that people have when thinking about these million-strong metropolises and is filled with exciting additional information. A great gift for any city lover or globetrotter.
