City dwellers lived in an environment filled with smoky factories, crowded homes, and lively thoroughfares. Sights, sounds, and smells flooded their senses, while changing conceptions of health and decorum forced many to rethink their most banal gestures, from the way they negotiated speeding traffic to the use they made of public washrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Feel of the City\u003c\/em\u003e exposes the sensory experiences of city-dwellers in Montreal and Brussels at the turn of the century and the ways in which these shaped the social and cultural significance of urban space. Using the experiences of municipal officials, urban planners, hygienists, workers, writers, artists, and ordinary citizens, Nicolas Kenny explores the implications of the senses for our understanding of modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction – The Body Urban\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 – Comparable Cities\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 – Image Makers\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 – Encounters with Industrial Space\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 – Home for a Rest\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 – Street Scenes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion – Keeping in Touch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52744852111640,"sku":"9781442615816","price":23.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-feel-of-the-city-experiences-of-urban-transformation-paperback-softback-9781442615816","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
