Cities are increasingly the arena for conflict. On a spectrum from everyday antipathies to full-scale war, urban reconstruction is politicised and collective heritage is often seen in terms of specific ethno-national, racial or religious identity. This lecture will consider key drivers that affect renewal in some of the world’s most fragile urban centres.
