JOVIS has published 'Urbanizing Suburbia. Hyper-Gentrification, the Financialization of Housing and the Remaking of the Outer European City'. The book is edited by Tahl Kaminer, Leonard Ma and Helen Runting. Urbanizing Suburbia looks at how increasing house prices have displaced residents from inner cities, created opportunities that have changed densities and demographics in the suburbs, and subsequently made outer cities less suburban. This is examined in the context of four European Cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, Stockholm and London. Photo Berlin page 312 © Leonard Ma. JOVIS

The Depth of the Landscape by Pranlas-Descours
Berlin-based JOVIS Verlag has published 'The Depth of the Landscape' by French architect and urban planner Jean-Pierre Pranlas-Descours. At a time when generic architecture increasingly homogenises the appearance of different territories, the book explores how Pranlas-Descours articulates the relationship between landscape and architecture through 16 site-specific projects.
