| Summary |
"London is at once an imagined community and an interaction of histories and place which present the experience of a metropolis. The complexity of the different images of the real and virtual London are revealed in the systems of representation and interpretation, the interaction of civic and national interests and issues of urban planning. The essays in this book examine moments in this diverse set of social, economic and cultural relationships which cohere in the construction of London's identities."--BOOK JACKET |
