The book is the result of a series of interdisciplinary studies united by the concept of “urban logic,” which offers an alternative to the established tradition of viewing the city primarily as a mirror of social processes. The “own logic of cities” is an approach that demonstrates how it is possible to focus on the distinctiveness and heterogeneity of individual cities in order to establish specific patterns associated with the differences of one city from another, drawing on each of them’s own “logic”. The question of theoretical tools that make it possible to describe such patterns becomes the subject of critical discussion in the book. In particular, the authors discuss and use concepts such as “urban habitus”, “city imaginaries”, urban “knowledge landscapes”, etc. Particular attention is paid in this regard to a comparative perspective and different types of relations between cities. As examples, the book compares a number of European cities - such as Berlin and Jena, Frankfurt and Hamburg, Sheffield and Manchester. African cities are examined separately from the point of view of their “own logic”.
