The urbanization in Yangtze River Delta today is in need of a new interpretation and paradigm. The delta is a territory with city cores but it also has vast dispersed urbanization where the agricultural and non-agricultural activities and spaces are mixed and interlinked, a desakota (McGee, 1991). This book attempts to answer a basic question: what is the desakota in the Yangtze River Delta made of? The research Horizontal Metropolis led by Prof. Paola Vigaṇ at EPFL, Switzerland focuses on the form of the contemporary city ? the fragmentary spatial condition and dispersed urbanity all over the world. The study on Yangtze River delta is part of its research frame. 410 0$aThe Urban Book Series,$x2365-7588 606 $aLandscape architecture 606 $aDesign 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aLandscape Architecture 606 $aDesign 606 $aUrban Ecology 615 0$aLandscape architecture. 615 0$aDesign. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology) 615 14$aLandscape Architecture. 615 24$aDesign. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 676 $a307.7609512 676 $a307.7609512 700 $aZhang$b Qinyi$c(Architect)$01432420 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736988303321 996 $aThe elemental metropolis$93577143 997 $aUNINA
