This book analyses the complex relationship between European historical cities and their visual representations from the postwar period to the present. Using approaches and methodologies from different disciplinary fields, authors address the tangible and intangible transformations of cities in relation to the varied images produced and conveyed by different media over time. To this end, various photographic and cinematographic representations of the city are analyzed, as well as more "unusual" narratives and images as home-movies, video art projects, murals, and street art. All in all, this book presents extensive theories and case studies around the interrelationships between cities and the system of different visualizations that increasingly shape their materiality and experiences. By analyzing how the image of historical cities is constructed and evolves alongside their urban fabric, as well as the transformations this may generate in terms of imaginaries and social structures, it also provides an opportunity to reflect on the role of aesthetics and history in those phenomena lying at the intersection of images, politics, architecture, and urban planning.
