Resumen:  The essays in Urban Imaginaries focus on how social and physical space is conceived as both indefinite and singular and offer case studies on cities in Brazil, Israel, Turkey, Lebanon, and India, as well as in the United States and France.
Urban Imaginaries is a distinctively interdisciplinary collection that pointedly avoids a Eurocentric focus.
Many of the cities studied are situated outside the North Atlantic, with a strong concentration on the ‘Islamic world,’ such as the geopolitically important Middle Eastern cities of Tel Aviv and Beirut.
