Preserving Whose City?: Memory, Place, and Identity in Rio de Janeiro - Paperback
by Brian J. Godfrey (Author)
This engaging book explores how and why debates over Rio's historic landmarks and landscapes have defined both the city and Brazil. Godfrey explains how heritage designation and rebranding have shaped the city's sense of place. He convincingly shows how much the world can learn from Rio about conserving cultural heritage and urban environments.
