Authenticity and Urbanism. A Critical Inquiry, Paperback/Ali Madanipour

This book investigates authenticity, an important but controversial cultural concept, and its relevance for urban socio-spatial processes. Defining authenticity as an evaluative relationship with an origin, it unpacks a range of origins from a critical, non-essentialist perspective: self, author, substance, event, time, place, and society.
