The Re-Use Of Urban Ruins: Atmospheric Inquiries Of The City (Routledge Advances In Sociology)

Since the 1970s, western cities have witnessed an explosion of creative strategies for the re-purposing of abandoned built environments. Through these strategies, new urban atmospheres are being created. This study examines how those new atmospheres and enivronments emerge, and how the sensual-aesthetic experience of abandoned built environments brings about its own politics of cultural value-making.
