Cities and Fascination (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

In the course of economic and cultural globalization, most large cities have been transformed via increasing commercialisation of urban space, and consequent intense processes of theming. Bringing together leading urban scholars, this book examines links between economic, social, and psychological factors in the transformation of cities. The work argues that 'fascination' plays a key role in the commercialization of theming, making it pivotal to the economic utilization of urban landscapes.
