GAM 08 dense cities: architecture for living closer together

GAM 08, entitled 'Dense Cities', focuses on the topic of the density of urbanareas and architectural production. Since 2008, more than half of the world'snow lives in urban areas and forecasts from the UN predict this rate will rise to 70% by the year 2050. A large part of this development is taking place inthe megacities in Asia and South America. The open development of mid-sized historical cities with clear centralized concentration serves as a basis for new approaches to architectural design and planning. If a city is considered to be any urban area with a certain density, we are then able to apply such termsas 'ždensification' or 'žincreased densification' new perspectives to all a range of scales. The contributions to this volume range from the topic of urbanlandscapes to the development of new building types.
