Produktbeschreibung

Kyoto is both a popular destination for tourists and home to one and a half million inhabitants. There is lively debate about how best to develop the city, involving a variety of stakeholders, forming a particlar social arena that has no match elsewhere in Japan. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the book analyses the social tensions and conflicts about the built environment and the public cultural heritage in Kyoto.
