Paperback --- SUMMARY A classic but underappreciated element of urban studies, the concept of place-making provides a lens through which we can explore the very diverse, highly-complex, and interwoven layers of meaning invested in a form of settlement characterized by density and diversity in other words, the city . In antiquity, urban space was a relatively scarce but nonetheless potent resource that was negotiated among stakeholders from across different social classes, each of whom had their own images and experiences of the city, their own points of navigation, and their own often fluctuating urban space. This special issue of the Journal of Urban Archaeology seeks to understand the dynamics of place-making in ancient contexts, and the many levels and locations of agency that were involved in tailoring urban space. The contributions examine varying strategies deployed in urban environments, ranging from the Hittite world to Phoenicia, Asia Minor, Rome, and Pompeii, with a close reading of sources that allow voices otherwise unheard to materialize in different ways. Taken together, these articles show the value of place-making as an analytical tool for archaeologists studying both the spatial and social dynamics of the ancient urban world.
