Urban Transformation

By Mark | Published: July 1, 2009

Urban Transformation is a fantastic book from Andreas and Ilka Ruby at Ruby Press based in Berlin, Germany.

Urban Transformation features projects, essays and ideas from some of our favorite urban thinkers such as Keller Easterling, Teddy Cruz and Robert Somol.

A project from the desks here at Sinking Cities managed to make it in the book – so be sure to check it out. I recommend getting the book Here



Tell me what is urban for you and I can tell you who you are. Clearly, the very notion of urban is arguably one of the hot topics of contemporary culture; it has become the synonym of cool and serves as a Zeitgeist indicator of lifestyle, music, food, fashion, and design. Yet precisely what urban means in regard to urbanism and the city has become increasingly blurred.

    Thanks Kentique!
    It’s the “Re:Doing Dubai” project. I’m sure you’ve heard Cha talking about it at some point.
