Sommario/riassunto

Explores cities and urban life from the perspectives of both sociology and cultural theory. This book demonstrates that the 'real' city of physicality and struggle and the 'imagined' city of representations are entwined in the construction of urban cultures. It designed as a text for courses in cultural studies, sociology and wider social science.
