Urban Transitions in Shanghai: Architecture, Adaptive Reuse, and the Regenerative City. E-book. Formato PDF Tiziano Cattaneo - Politecnica, 2026 -
This book should be considered not as a closed document, but as part of an evolving framework for research, visualization, and design investigation on urban transitions and regenerative urbanism in contemporary China. Shanghai is approached throughout this book not only as a case study, but as an evolving urban laboratory through which to investigate the relationships between architecture, adaptive reuse, infrastructure, ecology, and urban transitions in contemporary China. The atlas and visual materials included in this publication are part of an ongoing research platform investigating urban regeneration and urban transitions in Shanghai through architectural and design-oriented perspectives. Mappings, diagrams, drawings, and comparative visualizations were developed through direct observation, fieldwork, archival research, photographic documentation, and knowledge visualization methodologies. The research framework remains intentionally open, implementable, and continuously updatable, acknowledging the evolving and dynamic nature of urban transformation processes.
The Urban Paradox: Nine Cities in Search of the Future. E-book. Formato EPUB Paolo Verri - Egea, 2025 -
By 2030, nine percent of the world’s population will live in just thirty-three megacities—places that will generate fifteen percent of global GDP. The capital of these cities, the ultimate “super-megacity,” won’t be New York or Moscow, nor will it be found in Europe or the Americas. It will be in Asia. And, contrary to what many might think, it won’t be in China. The world’s most populous city will be Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, home to some thirty-five million people. Cities will increasingly become the laboratories where the planet’s future takes shape—where new social models are tested, where lasting peace is pursued, where frontier research and bold forms of cultural cooperation emerge. The goal won’t be to outdo one another but to share good ideas and good information. Cities like Barcelona, Turin, Pittsburgh, Lyon, Mi-lan, Istanbul, Tokyo, Wroclaw, and Matera have already shown how that can be done. The nine stories told in this volume recount cities around the world that have overcome crises, implemented innovative strategies, and achieved tangible results. But they also underscore the need never to rest on one’s laurels. A city—like any living organism—can never truly say, “I made it.” A city is a tortoise of extraordinary longevity and beauty, forever out of reach of any citizen Achilles.
