Most similar to Urban Questions for the Near Future is Book 2: The Expanded City, the one with the blue cover. Just a tad shorter, at 424 pages, this book keeps the nine-commons structure of the first book but applies it to providing arguments of continuity between urban and extra-urban areas. Although the 2017 Seoul Biennale focuses on issues and proposals, not on authors and works, there's plenty of overlap between the contributors in these two books; fitting, given how they came out of the Biennale's main Nine Commons thematic exhibition. --A Daily Dose of Architecture
