Approaches drawn from the fields of architectural history and theory, historic preservation, feminism, activism, and art are employed in order to analyze the ecological, political, socioeconomic, and cultural consequences of practices of demolition and rebuilding that remain grounded in the logic of modernism. The contributions investigate the historical development of demolition practices, along with the ideological influences that shape them, the current network of protagonists, and related gentrification processes, but also the anti-demolition movement that began to form in the
