This series addresses Art in the urban environment. As cities gradually lose the cultural connections with their industrial past, many seek to build new, post-industrial futures through urban regeneration. Art projects frequently play a key role in cultural policies that aim to re-establish use of redundant buildings and regenerate neglected neighbourhoods. This is an international collection drawing together contributions from a range of practices and academic disciplines around the themes of regeneration, locality and sustainability.

This volume considers the making of a settlement as a process of identity formation. Taking the position that a culture signifies a way of life, it asks how cultural frameworks inform patterns of settlement, and how the built environment, as process and design, conditions cultural production and reception. The disciplinary fields this intersects include architecture, urban design, sociology, cultural and human geography, cultural studies and critical theory. Contributors work in a range of such fields, in Europe and Latin America.
