Like an ecosystem, cities develop, change, thrive, adapt, expand,
and contract through the interaction of myriad components. Religion
is one of those living parts, shaping and being shaped by urban
contexts. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Cities is an
outstanding interdisciplinary reference source to the key topics,
problems, and methodologies of this cutting-edge subject.
Representing a diverse array of cities and religions, the common
analytical approach is ecological and spatial. It is the first
collection of its kind and reflects state-of-the-art research
focusing on the interaction of religions and their urban contexts.
Comprising 29 chapters, by a team of international contributors,
the Handbook is divided into three parts: Research methodologies
Religious frameworks and ideologies in urban contexts Contemporary
issues in religion and cities Within these sections, emerging
research and analysis of current dynamics of urban religions are
examined, including: housing, economics, and gentrification; sacred
ritual and public space; immigration and the refugee crisis;
political conflicts and social change; ethnic and religious
diversity; urban policy and religion; racial justice; architecture
and the built environment; religious art and symbology; religion
and urban violence; technology and smart cities; the challenge of
climate change for global cities; and religious meaning-making of
the city. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Cities is
essential reading for students and researchers in religious studies
and urban studies. The Handbook will also be very useful for those
in related fields, such as sociology, history, architecture, urban
planning, theology, social work, and cultural studies.
