Whether religious or civic in nature, these events provided tangible expressions of social, cultural, political, and religious cohesion, often reaffirming a particular shared ethos within diverse urban landscapes. Architecture has long served as a key aspect of this process exhibiting continuity in the flux of these representations through the parading of elaborate ceremonial floats, the construction of temporary buildings, the âdressingâ of existing urban space, the alternative occupations of the everyday, and the construction of new buildings and spaces which then become a part of the background fabric of the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines how festivals can be used as a lens to examine the relationship between city and citizen and questions whether this is fixed through time, or has been transformed as a response to changes in the modern urban condition. \u0026lt;\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003ci\u003eChristian Frost, Raymond Lucas, Jemma Browne \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Festival in History \u003c\/b\u003e1. ‘Pruning and propagating civic behaviour: three feste in and around Santa Maria della Vittoria in Mantua, 1495-97’ - Italy \u003ci\u003eSusan Janet May \u003c\/i\u003e2.
