12. Old City Atmospheres in the Age of Globalisation

Chapter Twelve, the final chapter of the book, offers theoretical insights into the atmospheres of historic cities, furnishing reflections on authenticity, sense of place and other concepts central to contemporary issues of urban heritage and conservation explored in the preceding chapters. Irina Oznobikhina elucidates the emotive aspect of dynamic urban landscapes, demonstrating that old city atmospheres are not limited to sacred architecture and monuments or their historical value but also encompass local identities and cultures on a deeper spatial and atmospheric level.
