Agglomeration zones, although covering\u00a0no more than 3% of the earth\u2019s surface, are directly interconnected through their bio-geographical interdependencies with the transformation of the rest of the 70% of the total\u00a0land surface currently used. This \u201cother 70%\u201d mostly hosts landscapes of primary\u00a0production: agricultural, grazing and forestry zones, sites of resource extraction and waste\u00a0disposal. This\u00a0project aims to shed light upon these largely invisible\u00a0\u201coperational\u00a0<wbr \/>landscapes\u201d of planetary urbanization, highlighting their critical role in organizing social\u00a0and ecological resources. A series of cartographic visualizations offers a macroscopic overview of\u00a0the operationalization of the planetary terrain through the globalization of primary\u00a0production, accompanied by two additional series of visualizations focusing on\u00a0industrialized operations of agriculture and mining across the American continent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nikos\u00a0Katsikis\u00a0<\/strong>is an urbanist working at the intersection of urbanization theory, design, and\u00a0geospatial analysis.
