ÜberLebensRaum STADT - Shaping the urbanisation of the world
ÜberLebensRaum STADT - Shaping the urbanisation of the world
Building equitable cities

The urbanisation of the world is progressing inexorably. By 2050, two thirds of the world's population will probably be living in cities.

But how can cities and rural areas remain liveable and beneficial for people and the environment? Whether Rüsselsheim or Bangkok, whether politics or the Pope, whether Christianity or Buddhism, whether Europe or Africa, whether impressions or sober numbers, whether childhood or old age in the city - in lyrical and factual texts, reports and essays, 35 short contributions provide observations, facts, ideas, suggestions for reflection and for discussions in groups, circles and courses. The colourful diversity of the cities is shown in photos and full-page artistic works, twelve of which are included as glossy cards, for example as conversation starters. The 27 authors come from the fields of education, development cooperation and science. The majority of the artists are participants in training courses organised by the publishers.

Protecting refugees and migrants

"Fortress Europe does more than simply leaving people destitute and repelling them at its walls: Fortress Europe kills. None of this is accidental or simply unfortunate; these policies are systemic and systematic, and condone deaths. Since the EU knowingly and willingly accepts these deaths, this is clearly not a humanitarian issue but a political catastrophe."
