O knihe

Every city has its own valuable and unique identity, which is revealed through its physical and visual form. It is seen through the eyes of its residents and users, and is where their collective memories are shaped. In turn, these factors affect tourism, the educational level, cultural level & economic prosperity, in addition to other aspects. Consequently, one of the main qualities and assets of the city is its identity.

Cities' identities are constructed and developed over time, and are constantly evolving from physical, cultural and sociological perspectives. This book explains how Architecture and the Arts can embody the historical, cultural, and economic characteristics of the city. It demonstrates how cities' memories play a vital role in preserving their physical and nonphysical heritage. Furthermore, the book explains the transformation of cities and urban cultures, and investigates different new approaches developed in both Contemporary Arts and Architecture.

The book covers a broad range of topics such as the conservation of cities' culture and identity through the designing and planning processes, various ideologies and approaches to achieving more sustainable cities while retaining their identities, and strategies to help cities advertise for themselves on the global market.

Given its scope, the book will benefit a variety of users (students, educators, researchers and practitioners) in the fields of City Planning, Urban Design, Architecture and the Arts.
