Fantasy City Hannigan, John, Following a wave of de-industrialization and cutbacks in public spending, American downtowns are reinventing themselves in the image of Disneyland and Las Vegas. "Fantasy City" looks at the changing face of the city and what it means for its citizens and for the future of urban development. America's central cities more and more begin to resemble theme parks. While this appears to have brought a new energy and hope to the urban landscape, it has yet to deliver an economic miracle to the surrounding residents and merchants. Local communities struggle to maintain their distinctiveness even as they embrace the commercial fantasies offered by global entertainment companies. John A. Hannigan shows how the growth of the fantasy city reflects an ongoing search for risk-free mass entertainment by middle-class consumers. By discussing examples from a wide variety of venues, including casinos, malls, heritage developments and theme parks, Hannigan traces the rise of urban entertainment at the beginning of this century, its decline after World War II to its surprising renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s. He offers provocative insights into urban development from structuralist, cultural and constructionist perspectives. By drawing on extensive material from business, cultural studies and urban planning, he shows that the growth of the fantasy city signals not only the arrival of a new urban space, but also the eventual destruction of the "inner city.".

By discussing examples from a wide variety of venues, including casinos, malls, heritage developments and theme parks, the author traces the rise of urban entertainment at the beginning of this century, its decline after the second world war to its suprising renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s. Do such areas of fantasy which highlight the middle classes search for risk free mass entertainment, end up destroying communities or create new groupings of shared identities and experiences? Written around three clearly defined theorectical perspectives, structuralist, cultural and constructionist, Fantasy City is specifically aimed at students. By offering provocative insights into urban development and drawing on extensive material from business, cultural studies and urban planning, the growth of the theme park city is shown to signify not only the arrival of a new urban space, but also the eventual destruction of the inner city. 256 pages. : Ill. ; 24cm.
