  abstract: Between 2008 and 2014, ETH Studio Basel, under the guidance of Roger Diener and Marcel Meili, has been investigating the process of urbanization taking place outside cities. Territory in the context of this investigation denotes both, the surroundings that a city subsumes into its own structure and the core city itself, which is the center of this process of urbanization, or "confiscation." Investigated were six regions on six continents, the Nile Valley with the dense corset of natural landscape surrounding a linear city, Rome-Adria, where territorial cells have formed within the territory, spawning an urban type of tremendous dynamism, Florida, presenting highly complex patterns of territorial organization; Vietnam's Red River Delta, where recent reform exposed traditional settlement and cultivation of the delta to freer forces, Oman, where urbanization of a territory essentially means reclaiming the desert with the immediate necessity to develop a system for water distribution and Belo Horizonte, where natural conditions likewise play a major role in organizing the territory as surface mining entails huge transformations of the natural terrain. The new book features two introductory essays on ETH Studio Basel's research approach and on terminology, concise illustrated reports on the six regions, and four concluding topical essays.
