Rather than treat this as a conventional monograph to present his practice's projects, Coates explores the work and ideas of other architects, notably Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaus, Zaha Hadid and Bernard Tschumi, as well as a range of designers and artists, many of whom have created new work for the project. He plunges headlong into aspects of cities that architects and urban planners invariably choose to avoid, exploding rigid perceptions of architecture in favour of a fluid concept of space.

Summary
Celebrated architect Nigel Coates has created a guidebook to the metropolis in his mind -- the realisation of an ongoing project described by the Guardian as "a gloriously dynamic vision of what the a city might be if only we stretched our imagination." He leads the reader into the ultimate expression of the city as a living entity by merging areas of Tokyo, Cairo, London, New York, Rome, Bombay and Rio de Janeiro with a multitude of existing and unrealised projects and challenging, salient architectural theory.
