Urban constellations

Auteur :
GANDY, M.

Description :
This edited volume brings together a range of international scholarship on cities, urbanization, and urban culture. The format of the collection involves short essays that explore such themes as new forms of political mobilization, the effects of economic instability, the political ecology of urban nature, and the presence of collective memory. Cultural aspects of urban change are considered, including the work of artists and film makers who have critically engaged with processes of urban change. The global scope of the collection involves essays on London, Berlin and Los Angeles, as well as less extensively studied cities such as Buenos Aires, Lagos and Seoul. – (HC)
