Nine previously unpublished essays form an interdisciplinary assessment of urban memory in the modern city, analysing this burgeoning area of interest from the perspectives of sociology, architectural and art history, psychoanalysis, culture and critical theory. Featuring a wealth of illustrations, images, maps and specially commissioned artwork, this work applies a critical and creative approach to existing theories of urban memory, and examines how these ideas are actualised in the forms of the built environment in the modernist and post-industrial city. 

九篇先前未发表的论文形成了对现代城市中城市记忆的跨学科评估，从社会学、建筑和艺术史、精神分析、文化和批评理论的角度分析了这一新兴的兴趣领域。这部作品以丰富的插图、图像、地图和特别委托的艺术品为特色，运用批判性和创造性的方法对现有的城市记忆理论进行研究，并探讨这些理念是如何在现代主义和后工业城市的建筑环境中实现的。
