Europe City

The book presents a multifaceted and diverse platform of ideas about European public space and its social, cultural, economic,and historical significance. Approached from a variety of different disciplines—with essays by sociologists and novelists;architects and anthropologists—this discussion is focused on seven lessons that have been learned through the prolific construction of public spaces across Europe over the last fifteen years: Memory, Mobility, Mixture, Margins, Waterfront, Marketplace, and Democracy. Fifty-four of these projects are featured along with a historic overview of European public space as well as reflections by authors from Africa, Asia, North Americaand Latin America.
