The development of post-socialist cities has become a major
field of study among critical theorists from across the social
sciences and humanities. Originally constructed under the dictates
of central planners and designed to serve the demands of command
economies, post-socialist urban centers currently develop at the
nexus of varied and often competing economic, cultural, and
political forces. Among these, nationalist aspirations, previously
simmering beneath the official rhetoric of communist fraternity and
veneer of architectural conformity, have emerged as dominant
factors shaping the urban landscape. This book explores this
burgeoning field of research through detailed cases studies
relating to the cultural politics of architecture, urban planning,
and identity in the post-socialist cities of Eurasia.
This book was published as a special issue of Nationalities
Papers.
