Opis

This volume brings together commentaries from a wide range of contemporary disciplines and fields relevant to urban culture, form and society. The book concerns cities in the broadest sense, not just as buildings and spaces but also as processes and events or sites of occupation, in which meanings are constructed in many ways. The contributors draw on their specialist areas of research to inform the debate, but they also speculate as to how cities will be shaped in the 21st century. Not all the contributors share the same viewpoint but they are all concerned with underlying issues such as social inclusion, cultural expression, and the contingency of readings of the city.
