About this product
Product Information
Fantasy City is an analysis of the postindustrial city as a site of entertainment. By discussing examples from a wide variety of venues, including casinos, malls, heritage developments and theme parks, the author traces the rise of urban entertainment at the beginning of this century, its decline after the second world war to its suprising renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s. Do such areas of fantasy which highlight the middle classes search for risk free mass entertainment, end up destroying communities or create new groupings of shared identities and experiences? Written around three clearly defined theorectical perspectives, structuralist, cultural and constructionist, Fantasy City is specifically aimed at students. By offering provocative insights into urban development and drawing on extensive material from business, cultural studies and urban planning, the growth of the theme park city is shown to signify not only the arrival of a new urban space, but also the eventual destruction of the inner city.

This book arrived with another one on which I've already commented, so I give the same comment here. Excellent ebayer. The product arrived on time and was in the condition described. It was also a hardback book, whereas I thought I had ordered a paperback. It was excellent value for money as a paperback and so it is many time more than that as a hardback. Thank you Baham Books, excellent service all round.
