Features: City Culture profoundly, meticulously, and incisively depicts the crucial role of culture in the transformation of American cities from planned to market-oriented systems. It analyzes the modes of urban expansion in the United States and the increasingly relied-upon "automatization" aspects of culture, exposing the deception and fiction of such "automatized" culture. Due to its high originality, City Culture has become a classic in the field of urban culture studies. It not only provides analytical depth for urban culture research but also offers many fresh, detailed insights lacking in other research works. Its publication has deeply influenced the entire discourse environment surrounding urban culture.
