The collection consists of the materials from the third of the Lotman Days, which took place in TU in 2011. Urban semiotics was treated to the viewpoint of the Tartu-Moscow school, in the international conference organised as part of the Lotman Days. The conference presentations are published in two collections: the present collection includes articles in Russian, the other in English. The collection is divided into four parts. The articles of the first part analyse functioning of the Tallinn text and Vilnius text in the new and contemporary Baltic and East Slavic cultures. The second part is dedicated to reflecting the problems of urban life at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of 20th century Russian literature. The articles in the third part describe ways of experiencing the urban space through the eyes of artists, travellers and local people. The collection ends with a poetic exchange of thought on how the scholars of Tartu-Moscow school of semiotics have interpreted St. Petersburg´s semiotics.
