Trans Urbanism explores the transformation of the contemporary city in an era of globalization, digital communication and cultural mobility.

Contributions include Arjen Mulder's introduction, Andreas Ruby's TransUrbanism, Arjun Appadurai's influential essay The Right to Participate in the Work of the Imagination, Scott Lash on informational culture, Lars Spuybroek on the structure of vagueness, Edward Soja on restructuring the industrial capitalist city, Mark Wigley on resistance within the urban environment, Roemer van Toorn's critique of contemporary urban discourse, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer on public space and interactive art, an interview in which Rem Koolhaas discusses Africa's urban future, Knowbotic Research on digital and spatial codes, and Brett Steele on Urbanism 2.0. Richly illustrated throughout, the publication provides an interdisciplinary perspective on architecture, media, art and urban theory and remains an important reference work for students, researchers and professionals interested in contemporary urbanism and architectural thought.
