The Nature Of Cities And The Analysis Of Their Cultural Problems

Abstract

Urban geographers had for a long time mainly approached culture through its material aspects. The situation changed with the cultural turn of the discipline. As a result a re‐evaluation of the former results was made. The basic concepts of community and society are taking a new significance at the time of globalisation. An increasing attention is devoted to counter‐cultures and cultures of resistance. Landscapes have ceased to appear essentially as expressions of urban functions. They play a fundamental role in the assertion of identities: hence the harsh competition for the control of public space. In contemporary urban archipelagos, culture has become a key factor in shaping forms. It often expresses deep conflicts and feelings of frustration.
