Abstract

Twenty years ago, as a fellow of the ‘Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin’ (Institute of Advanced Study), I wrote the small book “Zwischenstadt: zwischen Ort und Welt, Raum und Zeit, Stadt und Land”, the “City-in-between” published in English with the title ‘Cities without Cities: Between Place and World, Space and Time, Town and Country’.

The original version of this chapter was revised: The Conclusion “The Horizontal Metropolis Needs a Soul Rereading the Book “Zwischenstadt” After Twenty Years has been reissued as chapter of the book. This was previously listed as BookBackmatter without author attribution. No content within the chapter has been changed. The erratum to this chapter is available at https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-75975-3_45
