Summary:

"How do cities shape us and how do we shape them? That is the subject of Concrete Reveries, Mark Kingwell's playful and lyrical look at how we occupy city space and why place is so important to who we are. As he walks through various urban landscapes, Kingwell explores the sights, smells, and forms of the city, reflecting on how they mold our notions of identity, the limits of social and political engagement, and our moral obligations as citizens."--Jacket.
