planning; urban spaces and the gothic imagination; mobilities and forms of urban transport; the politics of urban space;

the city and the natural environment; urban cartographies; urban crime and violence; urban spaces and urban peripheries

and urban environments; concert halls, opera houses, and other urban entertainment venues; restaurants, cafes, and

urban eating and drinking; leisure and urbanism; city/country divides; and the anti-urban tradition in art and literature.
