Explore the evolution of modern cities as ‘Entertainment Cities’ at The Bookish Owl. This compelling German-language book by Springer Verlag Wien delves into how urban spaces are increasingly designed as optimized ‘playscapes’ akin to theme parks and shopping malls, prioritizing pleasure and profit. Discover how privatization, branding, and surveillance shape the urban narrative, with the city acting as both stage and story. ‘Entertainment Cities’ examines urban typologies like arcades, shopping malls, and entertainment districts, analyzing them as sites of privatization, commercialization, and feminization. Essential reading for anyone interested in urban development and the transformation of public spaces. Published November 6, 2007.
