"Urban landscapes are usually thought of first and foremost as engineered formations
designed for functionality. It is quite clear, however, that cities and towns are
sites of social structure, scenes of diversity, and hotbeds of transgressions. They
are also sources of satisfying social relationships, settings for actions negotiated
on an everyday basis, and opportunities for kinesthetic and aesthetic experiences.
Within these processes, the senses mediate engagement with the optimism of urban growth,
the comfort of urban traditions, and a consciousness of the diverse relationships
that embellish urban living, but also with the repellent sights and sounds that invade
zones of comfort. This book examines how qualities of place and their sensuous reorganisation
elucidate particular sociocultural expressions and practices in urban life. The collection
illuminates how urban environments are distinguished, valued, or reconfigured with
the senses as media for evaluating authentic spaces and places that endure and change
over time"
