Summary:

"The Italian photographer Gabriele Basilico has an almost obsessive fascination with the modern urban landscape. For years he has been documenting modern industrial cities, from Milan to Naples and Trieste, Madrid and Bilbao, Zurich, Frankfurt and Hamburg, Nice, Rotterdam, Beirut and many more, exploring and experiencing each one, waiting for the moment when the nature of the city - its essence - reveals itself. The present volume is a fascinating archive of Basilico's photographs, revealing both the heart and the outskirts of cities: palaces, bridges, bypasses, factories, streets, ports, building sites. Each image is a separate story that records and reflects urban life in the last two decades across Europe and beyond, but assembled together they become fragments of a universal or global city."--BOOK JACKET.
