{"product_id":"9781836390244","title":"Future Cities : Architecture and the Imagination by Paul Dobraszczyk","description":"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. In the Netherlands, floating cities are already being built; Dubai's recent skyscrapers resemble those of science-fiction cities of the past; while makeshift settlements built by the urban poor in the developing world are already like the dystopian cities of cyberpunk. Bringing together architecture, fiction, film and art, Future Cities re-connects the imaginary city with the real - proposing a future for humanity that is already grounded in the present and in the creative practices of many kinds.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54926554399093,"sku":"9781836390244","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781836390244.jpg?v=1736951954","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781836390244","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
