Could the concepts of "metropolitanism" and "thick space" aid our
understanding of historical and contemporary urban change? Essays
by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic provide
interdisciplinary approaches to the complex dynamics of large-scale
urbanization. The book opens with conceptual questions regarding
the development of metropoles and metropolitan studies. The
following sections provide analyses of the social, environmental,
and cultural dimensions of metropolitan spaces from both a
theoretical and an empirical perspective, such as the role of
planning and urban parks, the impact of ethnic diversity and
segregation, the place of cinematic visions or the centrality of
infrastructures and architecture.
