Between the phisical and the social fabric of the city: an interview with Sharon Zukin

Interview by Sharon Zukin, given on August 2013 when in Sao Paulo, participating at the international conference “Cities and Architectures: between heritage and memory” (FAU-USP). Zukin addresses the New York context, highlighting her most recent book, Naked City (2010). In it, she makes a careful observation of the results of the widespread interventions of re-urbanization, analyzes the concept of urban authenticity, and presents a deeper critical view over the influence of Jane Jacobs in the studies and political conflicts related to the urban way of life in the United States. The sociologist also examines the relationship between the big museums with the city and explains her recent research in Amsterdam and Shanghai, in which new themes are incorporated in her reflections.
