Memories of Cities is a collection of essays that explore different ways of writing about the political and economic history of the built environment. Drawing upon fiction and non-fiction; and illustrated by original photographs; the essays employ a variety of narrative forms including memoirs; letters; and diary entries. They take the reader on a journey to cities such as Glasgow; Paris; Moscow; St. Petersburg; and Marseille; laying bare the contradictions of capitalist architectural and urban development; whilst simultaneously revealing alternative visions of how buildings and cities might be produced and organised.
