Place Marketing and Temporality

The book analyses how the past - material (the historic built environment) and intangible (routines, practices and the ’character’ of the populace) - is appropriated, in order to ’sell’ the city into the future. It acknowledges the inherent selectivity involved and discusses the factors influencing what is remembered and what’s forgotten.
