Density

Whenever the topics of city and space are discussed, the concept of "density" plays a central role. Nikolai Roskamm examines how "density" is constructed and used across various disciplines. His foundational text establishes connections between historical and contemporary urban sociology, mass psychology and crowding research, classical concepts of geography and deterministic geopolitics, national economic population theory and Nazi population policy, as well as the differing positions in spatial planning and urban development. The result is a critical and insightful text about a significant category in the discourses surrounding city and space.
