Description

Explore the evolving landscape of the post-industrialist city with Fantasy City: Pleasure and Profit in the Postmodern Metropolis. Published by Routledge, this book examines how urban spaces have transformed into sites of entertainment. By looking at diverse locations such as casinos, shopping malls, theme parks, and heritage developments, the text investigates the economic foundations and historical roots behind modern urban entertainment. Author Hannigan raises important questions regarding the social impact of these spaces, exploring whether fantasy-driven areas lead to the destruction of existing communities or if they facilitate the creation of new shared identities and experiences. Designed with students in mind, the book uses a clear and accessible writing style to make complex sociological concepts easy to grasp. This work is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and urban development. It provides a well-researched account of how pleasure and profit drive the design and function of the modern metropolis, offering deep insights into the changing nature of urban life.
