Dynamik + Wandel

Die Entwicklung der Städte am Rhein 1910–2010+

M:AI / Museum für Architektur und Ingenieurkunst NRW e.V. Ed(s)

Rapid and uncontrolled growth presented numerous new challenges for many western German cities such as Cologne, Düsseldorf or Duisburg at the start of the 21st century. The changes that have taken place in the settlement area between Bonn and Duisburg over the past hundred years have been profound, exemplifying several “universal” developments.

This book sheds light on both the actual developments by the Rhine and on general questions that underlie them, engagingly illustrating the dynamic developmental history of the economic and cultural artery that is the Rhine up to the present. It also treats new challenges such as climate change that the region is faced with. Lukas Roth’s impressive photographs splendidly reflect the discussed issues.
