How do migrant communities reshape the cities they inhabit? THE SACRAL URBANITY PROJECT answers this through a deep dive into the places of worship emerging across Europe. This book (Vol. 2 of 4) is a travel diary through Berlin, Venice, and Marseille, exploring how Muslim and Pentecostal congregations adapt local architecture to make space for the divine.
