Bringing together leading urban scholars, this book discusses the
linkages between the economic, social and psychological factors of
the urban environment. It focuses on the growth of private urbanity
that has led to a 'spectactularization' of the city, the most
extreme component of attention being the fascination which is
aroused by attractions and state-managed events. The complex
characteristics of this fascination are examined under the
dimensions of aesthetics, emotions, lived experiences and power
structures and governance. The interdisciplinary nature of this
collection has wide international appeal and will be of interest to
academics of social and cultural geography and cultural and media
studies.
