Sharon Zukin (City University of New York)

The Cultures of Cities

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Shows how three notions of culture - as ethnicity, aesthetic, and marketing tool - reshape urban places and conflicts over revitalization. This book rejects the idea that cities have either a singular urban culture or many different subcultures to argue that cultures are constantly negotiated in the city's central spaces.
