MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "GAM.08 Dense Cities presents theoretical manifestos, historical analyses, urban-development concepts, and architectural design approaches related to urban density, thus introducing new forms of urban coexistence. With an aim to facilitate a multifaceted and adaptable urban lifeworld for society's various social groups, this publication unveils options for architecturally configuring urban space that foster an exploration of the qualitative aspects of density. "With contributions by: Javier Arpa, Markus Bogensberger, Martin Brucks, Dietmar Eberle, Aurora Fernández Per, Axel Fickert, Ole W. Fischer, Susanne Frank, Hans Gangoly, Uta Gelbke, Patrick Gmür, Dietmar Hoffmann-Axthelm, Fabian Hörmann, Hans Ibelings, Kaschka Knapkiewicz, Rob Krier, Christoph Mäckler, Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Javier Mozas, Ying Liu, Wolfgang Löschnig, Winy Maas, Morten Meldgaard, Christian Mueller Inderbitzin, Makoto Okazaki, Ida Pirstinger, Richard Rogers, Nikolai Roskamm, Wolfgang Sonne, Michael Sorkin, Galina Tachieva, Helmut Tezak, Paola Viganò, Vesta Nele Zareh, Frank Zierau." -- "GAM 08, entitled "Dense Cities", focuses on the topic of the density of urban areas and architectural production. Since 2008, more than half of the world's now 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 in the 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 terms as "densification" or "increased densification" new perspectives to all a range of scales. The contributions to this volume range from the topic of urban landscapes to the development of new building types." --
