Description

Explore the complex relationship between urban design and political power with The Political Life of Urban Streetscapes: Naming, Politics, and Place. Published by Routledge, this book examines how streetscapes serve as contested arenas where identity, memory, and place shape the social production of urban space. While streetscapes are often seen as part of the taken-for-granted spaces of everyday life, they are actually active sites of struggle. This text investigates the specific role that street naming plays in the political life of both historical and contemporary cities. You will learn how the renaming of streets and the remaking of urban commemorative landscapes function as strategies for political regimes. These actions are used to legitimize spatial assertions of sovereign authority, ideological hegemony, and symbolic power. This book is a valuable resource for anyone studying the history of urban environments and the ways political structures manifest in the physical world.
