The Urban Theory Lab's \u003cem\u003eData-Spheres of Planetary Urbanization\u003c\/em\u003e confronts this question by assembling a series of experimental visualizations of the worldwide urban fabric. This book reverses the mainstream, city-centric perspective on urbanization, showing, instead, that the world of contemporary urbanization encompasses much of the planet, including apparently remote areas, wildlands, and oceans. Cities are not only producers of value, but entropic black holes that consume surpluses produced elsewhere and project waste back into the planetary biosphere. Non-city spaces are, correspondingly, the metabolic bases of planetary urbanization. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith a foreword by Jason W.
