As half of the world's population has become urbanised, toxic or at least previously built‐up land has become more like the norm. Guest‐editor David Gissen considers the reality for architecture of toxic territories, in which the relationship of architecture with pollution needs to shift from one in which architecture is wholly regarded as a means of separation from a noxious external environment to one of interaction.
