Informed by the work of writers such as Henri Lefebvre, Paul Ricouer & Michel de Certeau, this collection of essays examines through multiple lenses eight topics related to the contemporary urban domain. The author employs powerful geographic & literary concepts such as space, narrative, & metaphor to interpret the often bewildering complexity of the post-modern city. Recalling key aspects of our shared intellectual heritage, "Passages" seeks to demystify the structure & historical development of the contemporary city in an accessible, engaging style. "Passages" is indispensable for those examining the city from either the professional design or cultural studies standpoint.
