This open access book offers interdisciplinary perspectives on cities shaped by shifting borders and contested identities. Rooted in the study of spatial and social re-appropriation, the book invites readers to rethink the urban experience in Central and Eastern Europe-a region defined by political discontinuities and rich linguistic and ethnic diversity.
Historical and Contemporary Challenges for Central and Eastern European Cities engages with the concept of a city to explore attempts to homogenize, categorize, and eliminate differences in history and present day. The essays delve into the interplay between official discourses and marginalized voices that challenge established hierarchies, uncovering both the conflicts and synergies that emerge in multiethnic and multilingual environments. The contributors offer fresh insights into how Central and Eastern European cities navigate their layered identities, fostering a deeper understanding of the region's dynamic and complex urban narratives.
