Beschreibung:
The title of this book, From the Margins to the Centre, refers to three related themes that have run closely together in the debates on the city in the 1980s and 1990s. Firstly a process of restructuring in which activities previously deemed peripheral to the 'productive' city have now moved centre stage; that is, a concern with culture, consumption and image. Secondly, the notion of gentrification, whereby a reversal of the movement out of the city centre by the affluent classes results in a re-centralisation of previously marginal areas of the city centre. Thirdly, a process whereby previously marginal groups and their activities have been made central to the city - and have made the city centre central to themselves.
Contents: Fordism, post-Fordism and the contemporary city; Left loafing: city cultures and postmodern lifestyles; Regional variations: northernness and new urban economies of hedonism; The interchangeable roles of the producer, consumer and cultural intermediary.
