废弃的工厂、造船厂、仓库和炼油厂是世界上许多工业化城市的特征。但是，尽管它们处于衰落的状态，这些废弃的遗址仍然与它们周围的城市景观密切相关。在这本富有启发性的新书中，Alice Mah探索了三个不同社区背景下的城市衰落和后工业变化的经历：加拿大/美国的尼亚加拉瀑布；英国的泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔；以及俄罗斯的伊万诺沃。
Mah采用了一种结合了人种学、空间和纪录片方法的独特方法，对过去40年工业废墟的景观和遗产进行了国际比较。通过这一点，她突出了在社会经济变化中长期生活在不确定和贫困中的复杂挑战。这一丰富的比较研究对关于制造业、再生和身份认同衰落的深远辩论做出了重要贡献，并将对城市理论和政策产生重要影响。
Abandoned factories, shipyards, warehouses, and refineries are features of many industrialized cities around the world. But despite their state of decline, these derelict sites remain vitally connected with the urban landscapes that surround them. In this enlightening new book, Alice Mah explores the experiences of urban decline and post-industrial change in three different community contexts: Niagara Falls, Canada/USA; Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; and Ivanovo, Russia.
Employing a unique methodological approach that combines ethnographic, spatial, and documentary methods, Mah draws on international comparisons of the landscapes and legacies of industrial ruination over the past forty years. Through this, she foregrounds the complex challenges of living with prolonged uncertainty and deprivation amidst socioeconomic change. This rich comparative study makes an essential contribution to far-reaching debates about the decline of manufacturing, regeneration, and identity, and will have important implications for urban theory and policy.
