About this book
Reviews
“Electronic Cities: Music, Policies and Spaces in the 21st Century brings a new perspective to understanding urban development and urban cultural policy-making. The book uncovers an incredible variety of stories and scenes from cities around the globe to help us better understand how music shapes the city and how the city shapes music.” (Carl Grodach, Foundation Professor of Urban Planning and Design, Monash University)
“This new edited collection provides a brilliant insight into the dynamic relationship between electronic dance music cultures and the cities from which they emerge. It investigates the myriad ways in which subcultural narratives are woven into the fabric of a city and how the struggle for space is played out in, on and under its streets. At a moment when the night-time economy is under such threat, this is a handbook for survival.” (Alice O’Grady, Professor in Applied Performance, University of Leeds, UK)
