Falk, one of Germany`s leading publishers of street plans, produce their town plans in two different formats. Falk Extra plans are folded in a standard way, where the whole map can be opened to view the entire area it covers. For larger cities, the same mapping is also published with a special folding system designed to show only a small section of the map at one time. The whole map can be opened but it will be cut in several places. Many find these street plans very user-friendly & easier to handle than conventional maps. The plans, which cover towns with their outer suburbs, indicate main landmarks & public buildings & show all the public transport facilities, one way streets & car parks. Plans of lager cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the underground & the suburban rail network. The plans also show the postal divisions & have an extensive street index which, where appropriate, shows individual postal codes for each street. Map legend

But how often do we stop to think about what makes our cities work? Cities are built using some of the most creative & revolutionary science & engineering ideas
- from steel structures that scrape the sky to glass cables that help us communicate at the speed of light
- but most of us are too busy to notice. Science & the City is your guidebook to that hidden world, helping you to uncover some of the remarkable technologies that keep the world`s great metropolises moving. Laurie Winkless takes us around cities in six continents to find out how they`re dealing with the challenges of feeding, housing, powering & connecting more people than ever before. In this book, you`ll meet urban pioneers from history, along with today`s experts in everything from roads to time, & you will uncover the vital role science has played in shaping the city around you. But more than that, by exploring cutting-edge research from labs across the world, you`ll build your own vision of the megacity of tomorrow, based on science fact rather than science fiction. Science & the City is the perfect read for anyone curious about the world they live in.
