Kent State University Architecture Library

Congratulations to Steve Rugare, College of Architecture and Environmental Design’s Professor, on the publication of 𝙐𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙣 𝙃𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙄𝙣 𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚: 𝙈𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙮 by Cambridge Scholars Publishing!

The book co-edited by Rugare and Jeffrey Kruth brings together ideas about the material and social transformation of cities by asking, “what is the relationship between history, memory, and the contemporary city?” The urgency of this question grows in the contexts of rapid urbanization in the Global South and urban decline in the deindustrializing areas of the Global North. Within these spaces, multiple disciplines shape our capacity to know the contemporary city. The work presented here invites the reader to undertake critical and creative approaches regarding how these disciplines might shape this process, ultimately making it more equitable and just.
