The contributors investigate how different actor groups, such as scientists, union members, journalists, politicians, artists, and historians, mediated the understanding of decline, the anticipated future, and the heritage of industrial cities. The authors look at a wide range of European cities during different phases of decline and transformation.The book is aimed at scholars of urban history and industrial history, as well as contemporary European history, the history of technology, and deindustrialisation studies. The contributions also resonate with discussion in neighbouring fields such as urban studies, media studies, cultural studies, sociology, and digital history.DeindustrializationEuropeIndustriesEuropeUrban renewalEuropeDeindustrializationIndustriesUrban renewal307.3416094Brüll Christoph1979-Haumann SebastianKrebs StefanMaele Jens van de1985-OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9911046528203321Mediating the decline of industrial cities4636098UNINA
