The imaginative structure of the city [electronic resource] / Alan Blum.
Annotation Blum explores the symbolic and imaginative nature of the city as a vital part of everyday life in modern civilization. He introduces the city as a community that must struggle to maintain its collective identity against typical problems--problems that threaten to fragment the city's sense of itself.
