Nick Hannes‘ latest book – NEW CAPITAL – published by Lannoo in Belgium, is now available for pre-order from the Lannoo site.

The book, which includes separate chapters for the six new capitals Nick visited in Egypt, South Korea, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Indonesia and Brazil, is a critical reflection on unbridled neoliberal urban development and its social and ecological impact, laced with subtle humour and surprising coincidences.

Meandering between pride and sadness, NEW CAPITAL shows how utopia and dystopia are sometimes surprisingly closely related.
