Summary:

"This book reveals that behind a variety of national and positivist historical narratives of Lemberg - and of its architecture - there always existed a city that was labeled "cosmopolitan" yet "provincial" and a Vienna, but still "of the East." Buildings, streets, parts, and monuments became part and parcel of a complex set of culturally driven politics. Modern architecture was an attractive tool used by diverse individuals and institutions to justify certain political endeavors and aspirations that appealed not only to a select political elite, but also to the broader public."--Jacket.
