Description

Edinburgh's modern story is one of power and politics. This book, written by a leading sociologist, explores the city's complex system of money and culture, revealing how social status is tied into a hierarchy of institutions and finance houses. The author examines Edinburgh's transformation into a Festival city, as well as planning controversies such as post-war developments and The Trams controversy. By studying Edinburgh, we can draw lessons about cities in general and their roles in the modern world. Through its analysis of Edinburgh's politics and economy, this book offers insights into the challenges facing urban areas today.
