From City of Sound:

The form of the various cities is presented in lovely abstracted plans - also used as pictograms or diagrams for each city, recalling a discussion from a few years ago about how recognisable architectural forms could be - which are perhaps the most alluring thing about the book. The wonderful Metabolist visions from the late-60s look particularly wonderful. However, in comparison, the information graphics themselves are perfectly serviceable but could do with some refinement and detailing.
