Epilogue: Spatializing Cities, Exploring Urban Religion, Re-Imagining Urbanity

Abstract

As an epilogue to the essays in this special issue, the article revolves around the question of the specificity of urban religious experiences. In addressing this question, I will first elaborate on the conceptual notion of the city that fruitfully frames the essays, in order to show, by a second step, its strengths but also some blind spots. Finally, ways to illuminate the blind spots are suggested which at the same time may stimulate further research in the field of urban religion.
