Description
Streetscapes are often viewed as part of the taken-for-granted spaces of everyday urban life. However, they also serve as contested arenas where struggles over identity, memory, and place shape how urban space is produced socially. This book from Routledge examines the specific role street naming has played in the political life of urban streetscapes within both historical and contemporary cities. Readers will explore how the renaming of streets and the remaking of urban commemorative landscapes function as key strategies. Different political regimes have used these methods to legitimize spatial assertions of sovereign authority, symbolic power, and ideological hegemony. This text provides a deep look into the relationship between urban geography and political power through the lens of street naming and place-making.
