Summary:

Architectural relics of nineteenth and twentieth-century colonialism dot cityscapes throughout our globalising world, just as built traces of colonialism remain embedded within the urban fabric of many European capitals. This book addresses the sustained presence and influence of historic built environments and processes inherited from colonialism within the contemporary lives of cities in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Novel in their focused consideration of ways in which these built environments reinforce neocolonialist connections among former colonies and colonisers, states and international organisations, the book's case studies engage highly relevant issues such as historic preservation, heritage management, tourism, toponymy, and cultural imperialism.
