This book explores the hybridity of urban identities in multiple
dimensions and at multiple scales, how they form as catalysts and
mechanisms for urban transitions, and how they develop as city
branding strategies and urban regeneration methods. Due to rapid
globalisation, the notion of identity has become scarcer, more
fragile, and inarguably more important. Given the significance of
place and displacement for contemporary everyday life, and the
continuous advancement of technologies, identifying relations and
values that define humans and their environments in various ways
has become crucial. Divided into seven chapters, this book provides
extensive coverage of 'urban identity', an often-overlooked topic
in the fields of urbanism, urban geography, and urban design. It
approaches the topic from a novel dual perspective, by exploring
cities with tangible commonalities and shared strategies for
refining their identities, and by highlighting cities and urban
environments characterised by multiple identities. Based on a
decade of research in this field, the book provides a
multi-disciplinary perspective on urban identity. In addition to
comprehensive information for students, it offers a key reference
guide for urbanists, urban designers and geographers, architectural
and urban practitioners, decision-makers, and governing bodies
involved in urban development strategies.
