Fusing urban political economy with ethnography and the analysis of visual form, this book argues that the real city is not only a material base of land, labour and capital, but also a projection developed by social representations, including buildings and language, art and decay. The city, Zukin demonstrates, is saved or doomed by culture, no less than by economic structures and political institutions.
