<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>No one tells people to move to cities; people do so on their own. 'Unconscious City: Conversations with Wiel Arets', explores the unconscious decisions the world's citizens have collectively taken throughout the last few centuries, which are currently and invisibly, reshaping the sensory, physical, and emotional experiences of human beings, when navigating the world's metropolises. Today, it's often that people must move to other cities, whereas in the past, such choices were made consciously, as they were based on rules, or tradition. Then, people belonged to a certain religion, society, or family-which defined their existence. In 1965 Jean-Luc Godard's film Alphaville, showed to the world that the new human being would one day soon live in a new, nomadic condition. That day has arrived; tomorrow, the situation will be amplified to unknown heights.00This book speculates upon what may soon happen to the world's metropolises, and how the human condition might change, as a result. Today, we navigate by flying between continents; each continent contains a treasure trove of unique neighborhoods' cities. We should no longer speak about cities of the past, and instead discuss the world becoming one cosmopolis: The Unconscious City.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>No one demands that people move to cities; people tend to do so, on their own. People choose to move to cities for opportunity. Such choices are often made unconsciously, as they are based on rules, traditions, and local communities-or a combination of all three. Un-Conscious-City explores and unravels Dutch architect Wiel Arets' kaleidoscopic viewpoints on the ways the collective, unconscious decisions taken by the world's citizens throughout time-a process that remains invisible to the naked eye-are now working to transform and shift the physical, sensory, and emotional experiences of human beings, as they navigate and live in today's metropolises as well as the countryside. People tend to only belong to one religion, one society, or one club-which completely defines their existence. One day most human beings will live in a global-nomadic-urban-condition; this will soon be amplified to unknown heights. Un-Conscious-City raises questions, predicaments, and ideals regarding the future of our cities, while recognizing their limitations. Wiel Arets-renowned architect, writer, and thinker-identifies this condition as the Un-Conscious-City.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>""Un-Conscious-City" raises questions, predicaments, and ideals regarding the future of our cities, while recognizing their limitations which Aret identifies this condition as the Un-Conscious-City. Critique: Enhanced throughout will illustrations, "Un-Conscious-City" is an extraordinary and occasionally iconoclastic study that will prove to be of especial interest to urban planners, architects, governmental policy makers, demographers, and sociologists. Thoughtful and thought-provoking, "Un-Conscious-City" is unreservedly recommended for community, college, and university collections." --Midwest Book Review<br>
