Summary
"Cities and Consumption investigates the mutual and dynamic relationship between urban development and consumption. Made accessible for students are debates that posit consumption as being at the intersection of different spheres of everyday life-between the public and the private, the political and the personal, the individual and the social. Consumption is thus understood as having multiple political, economic, social and cultural roles, and it is in the morphology of cities that its expression is most explicit." "Using case studies and illustrations from North America, Europe and Asia, Cities and Consumption is an essential student text. It clearly presents key ideas, perspectives and ways of approaching the complex relationship between urbanity and consumption."--BOOK JACKET.
