Book Synopsis Chasing Warsaw by : Monika Grubbauer

Download or read book Chasing Warsaw written by Monika Grubbauer and published by Campus Verlag. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warsaw is one of the most dynamically developing cities in Europe, and its rich history has marked it as an epicenter of many modes of urbanism: Tzarist, modernist, socialist, and--in the past two decades--aggressively neoliberal. Focusing on Warsaw after 1990, this volume explores the interplay between Warsaw's past urban identities and the intense urban change of the '90s and '00s. Chasing Warsaw departs from the typical narratives of post-socialist cities in Eastern Europe by contextualizing Warsaw's unique transformation in terms of both global change and the shifting geographies of centrality and marginality in contemporary Poland.
