'Examining colonized cities in East Asia, this book brings together a range of different perspectives across both space and time. European, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and Japanese discourses are examined, with a range of complementary and conflicting views on the design of urban and architectural forms; the political, institutional, religious and economical contexts of urban planning; the role played by various media; and the influence of various geographical, social and anthropological research methods.' - from back cover.
Working with a cross-regional and transnational approach, this publication provides an entwined perspective of social, urban and architectural history that look across different colonised cities across East Asia (many of which were under Japanese colonial administration) after the Second World War. It documents the close connections and ties (instead of separate discourses) between these cities, and offers insights of the spatial meanings of the built landscape of East Asia.
Includes a Foreword by Prasenjit Duara, and an index.
