Deindustrialization is an incisive process due to which not only the economic basis, but also social, cultural, and spatial constellations in the Ruhr Area and the Rust Belt have been subjected to major changes. The single chapters in “Urban Layers” investigate and comparatively examine these relations between spaces, identities, and representations in both geographic areas.
