Summary
This book is summery of a lot of very different articles, which deal with different dimensions of sustainability of the cities. Mainly discussed are the aspects of creative and artistic possibilities of city development and planning. How must we in the future cites develop, so that they make possible a good life? What means urbanity as a lifestyle or as a life concept in the city in difference to the life concepts of villages? And the book is a very important contribution to the debate of sustainability in a wider sense of cultural, social and economic sustainability. The transdisciplinary of the approaches makes open for a very different view of the city as a complex social system, in which the different lifestyles and -concepts also leads to contradictions, tensions and in which possibilities are thinkable, which leads to a new forms and spaces of life.
