Let's set the scene: there's a regular on his barstool, beer in
hand. He's watching a young couple execute a complicated series of
moves on the dance floor, while at the table in the corner the DJ
adjusts his headphones and slips a new beat into the mix. These are
all experiences created by a given scene--one where we feel
connected to other people, in places like a bar or a community
center, a neighborhood parish or even a train station. Scenes
enable experiences, but they also cultivate skills, create
ambiances, and nourish communities. In Scenescapes, Daniel Aaron
Silver and Terry Nichols Clark examine the patterns and
consequences of the amenities that define our streets and strips.
They articulate the core dimensions of the theatricality,
authenticity, and legitimacy of local scenes--cafes, churches,
restaurants, parks, galleries, bowling alleys, and more.
Scenescapes not only reimagines cities in cultural terms, it
details how scenes shape economic development, residential
patterns, and political attitudes and actions. In vivid detail and
with wide-angle analyses--encompassing an analysis of 40,000 ZIP
codes--Silver and Clark give readers tools for thinking about
place; tools that can teach us where to live, work, or relax, and
how to organize our communities.
