A city that grows encroaching neighbourhoods, in constant state of transition with enormous buildings, surpassing any sense of scale. The periphery constantly becoming central. Prime space demolished. While historical cities have the ruins of ancient civilisation at their centre, the world's more modern ones seem to converge in homogeneous collections of nameless buildings and interiors, offering visitors a globalised place, removed of any diversity. In the globalised metropolis, stainless steel and glass panes shine day and night offering surfaces impenetrable by our gaze, presenting an ageless and inhumane idea of perfection. Reflective cladding materials create a sense of estrangement, by placing citizens constantly outside. In this perfectly aseptic cityscape, are spaces in-between buildings a nuisance? In narrow hallways, under flyovers, and wherever there is space available, the real city fabric is able to manifest itself and create a much needed diversity. These spaces serve as a reminder that attempts to rationalise the beautiful complexity of life lead to miserable failure. Such places are adding texture and incredible vibrancy to the cityscape, and they are what really defines the individual character of a modern city. They offer a real sensorial experience, where one's mind eye is still able to caress materials and sink in textures. Here is where one can still find the beauty of the unexpected, almost an exotic experience in the modern globalised metropolis.In the evening, and while raining, cities become unintentional . In the rain, reflections on the tarmac blur the vision and transform the city into an impressionist painting: imperfect, human, and more engaging for the senses. In the darkness of night, roads and buildings merge in a stream of grey shades. With the absence of light primordial senses are reactivated - hearing, smell and touch are present. Human shadows, with backdrops of gigantic infrastructures, trigger dreaming of new, unseen situations: visual echoes of film noir.

From the verticals of New York, Hong Kong and Singapore to the sprawls of London, Paris and Jakarta, this interdisciplinary volume of new writing examines constructions, representations, imaginations and theorizations of 'cityscapes' in modern and contemporary culture. With specially-commissioned essays from the fields of cultural theory, architecture, film, literature, visual art and urban geography, it offers fresh insight into the increasingly complex relationship between urban space, cultural production and everyday life. This volume draws on critical urban studies and moves beyond familiar cultural representations of the city by considering urban planning and architecture. Organized under three inter-related themes - image, text and form - essay topics range from the examination of cyberpunk skylines, pagan urbanism and the cinema of urban disaster, to the analysis of iconic city landmarks such as the twin towers, the London Eye and the Judisches Museum Berlin. Covering a diverse range of cities, including Berlin, Chicago, Jakarta, Johannesburg, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Paris, and Venice, this fantastic resource for students, scholars and researchers alike, works expertly at the intersections of visual, material, and literary culture.

Olivia Germaine has already found love. Devoted wife, loyal friend, determined career woman—she’s created the life she always envisioned…until she locks eyes with a handsome stranger across a crowded room. David Dylan—alleged playboy and Chicago’s most eligible bachelor—awakens a passion in Olivia she buried long ago. He’ll do anything to prove to her that despite his playboy ways, he’s worth leaving behind the stable future her husband can offer her. But in order to accept a love she never thought possible, with a man who could be her soul mate, Olivia will have to let go of deeply rooted fears that could ruin everything. Everything is what David wants to give her, and it’s what he demands in return. But even though he’s a man who always gets what he wants...this time, David may be fighting for something unattainable. The Cityscape Affair series box set includes three full-length novels: Come Undone, Come Alive, and Come Together.
