Based on a symposium held in February 1999 at the European Academy of the Urban
Environment in Berlin, the book, drawing primarily on Berlin and Belfast case study material, explores how tensions involved in cultural and historical experience and
difference can be creatively managed and expressed in the built fabric and spatial practices of the city. The relationship between city identity and marketing is also
considered with the key question addressed as to how the city's inhabitants can be made to 'feel at home' and to identify with the city while at the same time an attractive image is
presented to potential towns and investors.
