This edition contains all the text and illustrations found in the giant Arcology,photographically reduced somewhat to allow a lower price and enhanced handleability. "In the three-dimensional city, man defines a human ecology. In it he is a country dweller and metropolitan man in one. By it the inner and the outer are at 'skin' distance. He has made the city in his own image. Arcology: the city in the image of man." -Paolo Soleri
