      abstract = {Cities across the world have been resorting to star  architects to brand their projects, spark urban  regeneration and market the city image internationally.  This book shifts the attention from star architects to star  architecture, arguing that the process of deciding about  and implementing relevant architectural and urban projects  is not the product of any single actor. Star architecture  can, in fact, be better studied and understood as assembled  by multiple actors and in its relationship with urban  transformation. In its 18 chapters, the book presents a  multidisciplinary collection of expert contributions in the  fields of urban planning, architecture, media studies,  urban economics, geography, and sociology, consistently  brought together for the first time to deal with this  topic. Through a vast array of case studies and analytical  techniques touching over 20 cities in Europe, the book  shows the positive and more problematic impacts of star  architecture with reference to the preservation of built  heritage, tourism and media. The book will be of interest  to architects, sociologists, urban planners, and public  administrators.},
