This text aims to capture the vitality, excitement and tensions of
the street. Drawing on historical and contemporary international
research in cultural geography, cultural studies, sociology and
planning, Nicholas Fyfe focuses contributions into three main
sections. Planning and design examines how specific streetscapes
are shaped by the interplay between dominant ideas in politics,
planning, and local economic and political circumstances. The book
draws on a seam of qualitative material, teasing out social
differences of peoples' experiences of the street; to examine how
social identities are shaped and represented in fiction and film;
and to explore the meaning and significance of streets as settings
in which social practices are played out. The final section,
"Control and Resistance", focuses on how social life on the street
is increasingly regulated, both directly by formal agencies of
social control, such as the police, and indirectly through
architecture and urban design. The book subjects the street to
sustained critical scrutiny, extending our understanding of the
making and meaning of urban space.
