Mega-city regions are currently a frequent topic of discussion. Researchers are exploring the fundamentals for understanding the role of metropolitan regions and their social, economic, and cultural developments on a national and European basis. The responsible decision makers in politics and business are calling for new measures for greater urban areas. But that is just the start of the problem: Europe seems to lack an awareness for metropolitan regions. For the majority of politicians, planners, institutions, and residents the features of mega-city regions remain invisible. They are scarcely charted; there are no concepts for representing them or any direct sensory understanding of them in everyday life. The book is based on the understanding that the visual depiction of mega-city regions is fundamental to identifying, acting, and developing within existing concentrations of urban populations. Through essays from various disciplines the book approaches the phenomenon and discusses the necessity to visualize mega-city regions. 203 illustrations

"Mega-city regions are an emerging large-scale urban phenomenon of strategic importance for economic, social and cultural development, at the European and national level. However to politicians, administrators and citizens these regions remain invisible and intangible in many respects. They are rarely mapped, lack a general concept and image, and offer few features that are readily perceived in everyday life. Getting a picture of mega-city regions is crucial for comprehension, identification, motivation and commitment. Raising awareness of this nascent space is a prerequisite to establishing large-scale metropolitan governance. The program behind "Making Mega-City Regions Visible!" aims to transform the analytical or normative concept of mega-city regions into a perceptual space, enabling it to finally become a space of collective action." --
