Abstract
The book under review is devoted to the performing arts in several cities distinguished by their diverse cultural heritage. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the genesis of cultural phenomena in the mosaic of urban communities and the formation of a heterogeneous urban environment. The main idea of the book is that the cultural diversity of the urban environment, represented primarily by the performing arts, takes shape as a result of complex processes of transformation and social conflict and serves as the foundation for the creative growth of urban communities. The book is of considerable interest to the Ukrainian reader, as it offers an original view of the role of culture in urban development, which may be useful for the post-war reconstruction of Ukrainian cities.
