Review Quotes:
"This book provides an important introduction to, and comprehensive overview of, contemporary scholarship on urban imaginaries. Lindner and Meissner have compiled an exciting collection of essays, connecting perspectives from the arts, humanities, and social sciences and drawing on cases from a broad range of media and geographical contexts. With its incisive analysis of the political role of the imagination in cities across the world, and an insightful focus on the crafting of urban futures, this book is likely to become a key resource in urban studies teaching and research."
