This volume investigates the "cool city" phenomenon with an empirical focus on Istanbul. It approaches "cool Istanbul" not only as a consumable brand but also as a socially produced and politically performed phenomenon. The essays in the volume draw attention to the significance of thinking production, consumption, and performance of cities in relation to their imagination and trigger critical questions beyond disciplinary academic boundaries.
