Zusammenfassung:Explores where power and status lie in Edinburgh Looks behind the Edinburgh façade of tourism and festivals Focuses on power and status in the city Examines the social, ethnic and gender dynamics of EdinburghExamines how Edinburgh became Festival CityExplores schools and cultural power Analyses planning controversies, including The Trams This book, written by a leading sociologist, tells Edinburgh's modern story and unveils its power structure. It examines its politics, formal and informal; its changing political economy; and the rise of its status as Festival city. Behind all this lies a complex system of money and culture, of presumed social status tied into a hierarchy of schools and institutions, universities, banks and finance houses. The book explores arguments about what sort of city Edinburgh should be and what it should look like. It examines planning controversies, from post-war developments through various 'holes in the ground' up to and including The Trams controversy. Studying Edinburgh lets us draw lessons about cities in general, and their roles in the modern world
