How do we experience a city in terms of the senses? What are the
inter-relations between human experience and behaviour in urban
space? This volume examines these questions in the context of
European urban culture between the fifteenth and twentieth
centuries, exploring the institutions and ideologies relating to
the range of sensual experience and its interpretation. Spanning
pre-industrial and modern cities in Britain, France, Germany and
the United States, it enables the reader to establish major
contrasts and continuities in what is still an evolving urban
experience. Divided into sections corresponding to the five senses:
noise, vision, taste, touch and smell, each sections allows for
comparisons which act as reminders that the experience of the city
was a multi-sensual one, and that these experiences were as much
intellectual as physical in their nature.
