Warsaw is one of the most dynamically developing cities in Europe, and its rich history has marked it as an epicenter of many modes of urbanism: tsarist, modernist, socialist, and - in the past two decades - aggressively neoliberal. Focusing on Warsaw after 1990, this volume explores the interplay between Warsaw's past urban identities and the intense urban change of the '90s and '00s. "Chasing Warsaw" departs from the typical narratives of postsocialist cities in Eastern Europe by contextualizing Warsaw's unique transformation in terms of both global change and the shifting geographies of centrality and marginality in contemporary Poland.
Monika Grubbauer is an architect and urban researcher at Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany. Joanna Kusiak is an urban activist and sociologist at the University of Warsaw and Darmstadt University of Technology.
