{"product_id":"city-of-the-future-mateusz-laszczkowski-9781789200751","title":"'City of the Future': Built Space, Modernity and Urban Change in Astana","description":"\u003cp\u003e Astana, the capital city of the post-Soviet Kazakhstan, has often been admired for the design and planning of its futuristic cityscape. This anthropological study of the development of the city focuses on every-day practices, official ideologies and representations alongside the memories and dreams of the city's longstanding residents and recent migrants. Critically examining a range of approaches to place and space in anthropology, geography and other disciplines, the book argues for an understanding of space as inextricably material-and-imaginary, and unceasingly dynamic - allowing for a plurality of incompatible pasts and futures materialized in spatial form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mateusz Laszczkowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178920075X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789200751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Mateusz Laszczkowski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180318286079,"sku":"9781789200751","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e209ea3e-61f5-4c8f-a0fa-b9e199d867b8.jpg?v=1712897846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/city-of-the-future-mateusz-laszczkowski-9781789200751","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
