The study addresses questions such as these: How do literary texts represent urban complexities - and how can they capture the uniqueness of a given city? How do literary texts simulate layers of urban memory - and how can they reinforce or help dissolve path dependencies in urban development? What role can literary studies play in interdisciplinary urban research? Are the blueprints or 'recipes' for urban development that most quickly travel around the globe - such as the 'creative city', the 'green city' or the 'smart city' - really always the ones that best solve a given problem? Or is the global spread of such travelling urban models not least a matter of their narrative packaging? In answering these key questions, this book also advances a literary studies contribution to the general theory of models, tracing a heuristic trajectory from the analysis of literary texts as representations of urban developments to an analysis of literary strategies in planning documents and other pragmatic, non-literary texts. 606 $aCities and towns$xSocial aspects 606 $aUrbanization in literature 610 $aLiterature: history and criticism 615 0$aCities and towns$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aUrbanization in literature. 676 $a307.76 700 $aGurr$b Jens Martin$f1974-$01272466 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476773003321 996 $aCharting literary urban studies$92997006 997 $aUNINA
