Portrait of the City: Framing the Significance of the Historic Urban Landscape

The book places Dublin at the centre of a discussion about the significance of the historic urban landscape. This multi-disciplinary collection examines key issues that affect cities across the world. As noted in the co-author’s introduction it combines detailed studies of often-neglected aspects of Dublin’s past with case studies of Boston, Baghdad, London, Chicago, New York, Birmingham AL, Lisbon and Jerusalem. This collection frames the debates that will determine the way in which cities perceive, commemorate, preserve, conserve or destroy their historic urban landscapes. The author’s chapter examines the place of history and memory on Dublin’s streets.
