Ungewöhnliche Blickwinkel haben die fünf Stadtfotografinnen und -fotografen eingenommen. Ein urbanes Baden zeigen sie: pulsierendes Leben in den Strassen und kulturstätten einer Stadt, deren grosses Einzugsgebiet gleichzeitig am Puls der nahen Grossstadt Zürich hängt. Zehn Persönlichkeiten - vom Stadtammann bis zur Secondo-Wirtin - schildern, was Baden zu einem aussergewöhnlichen Ort macht. Damit charakterisieren sie die Gegenwart. Im Gegenzug erfährt die 2000-jährige Geschichte dieses einst bedeutenden Fremdenverkehrsortes der Schweiz auf 20 illustrierten Seiten eine aktuelle Interpretation. Daten und Fakten situieren die Stadt in der Nach-Kurort-Ära und beschreiben Baden als attraktiven Arbeitsort und Lebensraum in der Zeit nach BBC. Die Texte in Deutsch werden durch Zusammenfassungen in englischer Sprache ergänzt, die Bildlegenden sind zweisprachig verfasst (deutsch und englisch).
