关于这本书：
这本文集提供了一个关于城市不断变化的特征的全球视角，以及消费文化在定义其象征经济中发挥的日益重要的作用。从广告和房地产销售，到青年文化消费行为和创业形式，再到以遗产产业为幌子的城市复兴和WiFi景观的开发，各种形式的奇观越来越多地影响着人们对城市的想象，并影响着城市的特征和我们了解它们的做法。这本书以纽约、悉尼、大西洋城、巴塞罗那、里约热内卢、杜阿拉、利物浦、圣胡安、柏林和哈尔滨等城市为例，阐述了形象和实践如何在符号经济的表现中纠缠在一起。它还认为，不仅城市现在是如何以这种方式塑造的，对城市的发展具有重要意义，而且城市发展的一个显著特征是将过去作为遗产和通过再生进行壮观的想象。然而，这在实践中召唤出的幽灵，为我们提供了一种可能的政治动荡形式，以及看待城市的另一种方式，这一点才刚刚开始探索。
通过一些领先的消费、城市和空间消费分析师的重要收集，《创业城市》提供了对城市发展方式及其对其未来的影响的前沿分析。它是城市研究、地理学、社会学、文化研究、遗产研究和人类学学生的必读读物。
About the book:
This collection offers a global perspective on the changing character of cities and the increasing importance that consumer culture plays in defining their symbolic economies. Increasingly, forms of spectacle have come to shape how cities are imagined and to influence their character and the practices through which we know them - from advertising and the selling of real estate, to youth cultural consumption practices and forms of entrepreneurship, to the regeneration of urban areas under the guise of the heritage industry and the development of a WiFi landscape. Using examples of cities such as New York, Sydney, Atlantic City, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Douala, Liverpool, San Juan, Berlin and Harbin this book illustrates how image and practice have become entangled in the performance of the symbolic economy. It also argues that it is not just how the urban present is being shaped in this way that is significant to the development of cities but also that a prominent feature of their development has been the spectacular imagining of the past as heritage and through regeneration. Yet the ghosts that this conjures up in practice offer us a possible form of political unsettlement and alternative ways of viewing cities that is only just beginning to be explored.
Through this important collection by some of the leading analysts of consumption, cities and space Consuming the Entrepreneurial City offers a cutting edge analysis of the ways in which cities are developing and the implications this has for their future. It is essential reading for students of Urban Studies, Geography, Sociology, Cultural Studies, Heritage Studies and Anthropology.
