| 520 | _aA breathtaking exploration that intertwines imaginary cities and real-world urban innovations. Exploring a breathtaking range of imagined cities – submerged, floating, flying, vertical, underground, ruined and salvaged – this book teases out the links between speculation and reality, arguing that there is no clear separation between the two.
