Atlas of the Copenhagens

Atlas of the Copenhagens explores the urban territories of Copenhagen, often identified in city-ranking indices as the world’s most sustainable and livable city. The increasing authority attributed to city-ranking metrics prompts a number of quesitions: What exactly is meant by sustainability or livability? How are the territorial and conceptual limits of a city drawn to define it as an object of measurement? And how does this impact our understanding of something as complex and manifold as a city? With over 400 maps, information graphics, and illustrations, this book offers a visually seductive, yet informative and comprehensive, understanding of the city of Copenhagen.
