Memory Culture and the Contemporary City: Building Sites

Staiger, Uta; Steiner, Henriette; Webber, Andrew

These essays by leading figures from academia, architecture and the arts consider how cultures of memory are constructed for and in contemporary cities. They take Berlin as a key case of a historically burdened metropolis, but also extend to other global cities: Jerusalem, Buenos Aires, Cape Town and New York.
