Urban landscapes are usually thought of first and foremost as
engineered formations designed for functionality. It is quite
clear, however, that cities and towns are sites of social
structure, scenes of diversity, and hotbeds of transgressions. They
are also sources of satisfying social relationships, settings for
actions negotiated on an everyday basis, and opportunities for
kinesthetic and aesthetic experiences. Within these processes, the
senses mediate engagement with the optimism of urban growth, the
comfort of urban traditions, and a consciousness of the diverse
relationships that embellish urban living, but also with the
repellent sights and sounds that invade zones of comfort. This book
examines how qualities of place and their sensuous reorganisation
elucidate particular sociocultural expressions and practices in
urban life. The collection illuminates how urban environments are
distinguished, valued, or reconfigured with the senses as media for
evaluating authentic spaces and places that endure and change over
time.
