El Street Art está en todas partes. Es casi imposible pasear por cualquier ciudad del mundo occidental sin encontrarnos con un sticker o un 3tag2 a nuestro paso. Tras el Boom de los últimos tres años el fenómeno Street Art, poco a poco, va posicionándose dentro del arte contemporáneo, pasando de ser una gigantesca exposición de arte al aire libre a ser una exposición enjaulada entre las cuatro paredes de las galerías de arte. En este libro vamos a mostrar lo último que podemos encontrar si paseamos por las calles de las dos capitales por antonomasia dentro de la escena del arte urbano actual; Barcelona y New York.

This exciting idea book for designers, photographers, architects, artists and others approaches the art and craft of graphic design from a unique perspective. It examines how the context in which designers work affects the designs they create. In this case, the context is Barcelona, Spain, with its distinct and beguiling combination of geography, history and colorful culture. A variety of designs--graphic design to fashion, architecture to interiors--are showcased inside, from works-in-progress to finished pieces. Each illustrates how Barcelona's unique attributes provide inspiration to designers as they work, and affect the outcome of the finished product. This approach to design makes Barcelona + an idea book unlike any other, one that breaks from tradition, surpasses expectations and propels designers' imaginations to the cutting edge and beyond.

This book is a study of mass transit networks in urban areas and of their role in shaping the structure of the city. It establishes links between the history, planning and transport networks of eleven international cities (London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Mexico City and Singapore), in a survey which helps us bring to mind the origins of modern means of transport: of conventional railways and their subsequent conversion into metros and tramways, and into today's high-speed trains; of the appearance in the metropolitan context of the motor car and bus, and the arrival of motorways and contemporary airports. In short, the history and morphology of transport networks in our big cities, described through the detailed study and comparative analysis of developments in each of them, all of this with a wealth of images, maps and data of interest.

Cities place enormous pressures on freshwater quality and availability because they are often located some distance from the water sources needed by their populations. This fact compels planners to build infrastructure to divert water from increasingly distant outlying rural areas, thus disrupting their social fabric and environment. In addition, increasing urbanization due to population growth, economic change, and sprawl places huge burdens upon the institutions, as well as the infrastructure, that deliver, protect, and treat urban water. This book assesses the challenges facing the world’s cities in providing reliable, safe, and plentiful supplies through infrastructural, economic, legal, and political strategies.
