| "Cities and Consumption" investigates the mutual and dynamic relationship between urban development and consumption: how are cities moulded by consumption, how is consumption molded by cities? Consumption stands at the intersection of different spheres of everyday life: between the public and the private, the political and the personal, the individual and the social. Consumption is considered to be a means and motor of social change; as an active ingredient in the construction of space and place; and in constructing subjectivity and social selfhood. Consumption is thus understood as having multiple roles as a political, economic and cultural touchstone, and it is in the morphology of cities that its expression is most explicit. |
