Memory Urbanism

Memory Urbanism is a concept that explores how cities and their landscapes carry collective memories of history, culture, and social change. It examines how physical spaces—buildings, streets, monuments—serve as tangible reminders of the past, shaping identity and community. By studying these spatial memories, urban planners and scholars understand how cities remember and interpret history, influencing present-day development and cultural expression. Essentially, it connects the physical environment with collective memory, revealing how urban spaces both reflect and influence societal identity over time.
