Description

Book Synopsis
Like a CAT scan of an organ, urban tomography documents metropolitan life by sampling and compiling multiple slices of a city. Using photography and audio recording, urban planning expert Martin H. Krieger scans contemporary Los Angeles to illuminate different aspects of a community, from work to worship.

Trade Review
"Martin H. Krieger is an imaginative thinker and a leader in taking advantage of technology. His Urban Tomographies is a well-paced, clearly structured book that outlines new approaches to recording views of the city and that will be important for future research and teaching." * Ann Forsyth, Cornell University *
