True Cities is a photographic publication, a summary of ten years of Charlie Koolhaas' research on global cities, to create a collage from a vast collection of images and words that have been collected from around the world. True Cities weaves a dense photographic patchwork of images of the historical financial centers London, Guangzhou, and Houston and of the emerging centers of commerce Dubai and Lagos. The book shows similarities and contradictions, structures and surfaces and relates to the people living there. True Cities will be part street photography, part raw documentary and energised observation.
