Due to rapid globalisation, the notion of identity has become scarcer, more fragile, and inarguably more important. Given the significance of place and displacement for contemporary everyday life, and the continuous advancement of technologies, identifying relations and values that define humans and their environments in various ways has become crucial. Divided into seven chapters, this book provides extensive coverage of ?urban identity?, an often-overlooked topic in the fields of urbanism, urban geography, and urban design. It approaches the topic from a novel dual perspective, by exploring cities with tangible commonalities and shared strategies for refining their identities, and by highlighting cities and urban environments characterised by multiple identities. Based on a decade of research in this field, the book provides a multi-disciplinary perspective on urban identity. In addition to comprehensive information for students, it offers a key reference guide for urbanists, urban designers and geographers, architectural and urban practitioners, decision-makers, and governing bodies involved in urban development strategies. 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aCities, Countries, Regions$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K14000 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 14$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aCities, Countries, Regions. 676 $a307.76 700 $aCheshmehzangi$b Ali$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0849626 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392734903321 996 $aIdentity of Cities and City of Identities$92516850 997 $aUNINA
