Margins and marginalizations in a postsocialist urban area. The case of Łódź
Journal Title: Art Inquiry. Recherches sur les arts - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
As a result of post-socialist political transformations and globalization-related processes, the architectural landscape of Central and Eastern European cities is undergoing significant metamorphosis. Their architecture reflects and visualises not only economic, but also social and cultural changes. The transformations and architectural refurbishment contribute to the alteration of the city’s image and the creation of new divisions into “luxury zones” and marginalized areas.
