Résumé:
Cities are raucous, cacophonous, and complex. Urban policy makers and analysts often attempt to “cut through the noise” of urban disagreement by emphasizing a dominant lens for understanding the key, central logic of the city. This volume sees this tendency to selective vision as misleading and ultimately unjust: cities are many things at once to different people and communities. It describes the various ways of seeing the functions and landscapes of the city as place frames, and the constant process of negotiating which place frames best explain the city as place-making. This approach highlights how any given stance opens up some lines of inquiry and understanding while closing off others.
