'This brilliant and timely collection explores the psychology of urban spaces: the dark corners, the sharp angles, the walkways and stairs, and the hidden streets. The city is discussed as if it were a human being: having a soul and an ego, harbouring secrets, and dealing with its shadows. Travelling through the psychological landscapes of cities and towns around the world, the essays in the collection deal with the issues that have haunted metropolitan spaces since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution: crime and violence, social fragmentation, unfriendly architecture, poverty and pollution. Ultimately, the book raises the question of the place of the individual in the complex and confusing environment that is the modern city.' - Dr. Helena Bassil-Morozow, Lecturer in Media and Communication, Glasgow Caledonian University and the author of The Trickster and the System
