This book, written by a leading sociologist, tells Edinburgh's
modern story and unveils its power structure. It examines its
politics, formal and informal; its changing political economy; and
the rise of its status as Festival city. Behind all this lies a
complex system of money and culture, of presumed social status tied
into a hierarchy of schools and institutions, universities, banks
and finance houses. The book explores arguments about what sort of
city Edinburgh should be and what it should look like. It examines
planning controversies, from post-war developments through various
'holes in the ground' up to and including The Trams controversy.
Studying Edinburgh lets us draw lessons about cities in general,
and their roles in the modern world.
