Besides being an exhibition documentation, the book offers a number of thematic additions. First, a deeper strategic approach to the chances of transforming and re-using the Gleisbogen and its monuments; second, some interviews with eye-witnesses from the area; finally, some keynote chapters on the issues of conservation, landscape architecture and ecology, and the importance of cultural projects for developing brownfield sites.
