Cities Full of Symbols : A Theory of Urban Space and Culture
(Edited by) Peter J.M. Nas
This book examines design
proposals that show symbolic handling of the 9/11 attack on New York, the
disaster symbolism of the ship washed ashore by the tsunami in Banda Aceh, and
the design of the symbol of the city of Cape Town derived from a remnant of
Dutch colonial architecture, or the mass pilgrimage to Elvis’s Graceland in
Memphis. Cities Full of Symbols develops urban symbolic ecology and hypercity
approaches into a new perspective on social cohesion. Approaches of architects,
anthropologists, sociologists, social geographers and historians converge to make
this a book for anyone interested in urban life, policymaking and city
branding.
