Cities have always been dynamic social environments for visual and
otherwise symbolic competition between the groups who live and work
within them. In contemporary urban areas, all sorts of diversity
are simultaneously increased and concentrated, chief amongst them
in recent years being the ethnic and racial transformation produced
by migration and the gentrification of once socially marginal areas
of the city. Seeing Cities Change demonstrates the utility of a
visual approach and the study of ordinary streetscapes to document
and analyze how the built environment reflects the changing
cultural and class identities of neighborhood residents. Discussing
the manner in which these changes relate to issues of local and
national identities and multiculturalism, it presents studies of
various cities on both sides of the Atlantic to show how global
forces and the competition between urban residents in 'contested
terrains' is changing the faces of cities around the globe.
Blending together a variety of sources from scholarly and mass
media, this engaging volume focuses on the importance of 'seeing'
and, in its consideration of questions of migration, ethnicity,
diversity, community, identity, class and culture, will appeal to
sociologists, anthropologists and geographers with interests in
visual methods and urban spaces.
