The history of the Baku oil industry offers a clear, focused example of the social and physical effects of the imposition of external parties’ financial and commodity demands on an urban-industrial setting. Baku as an urban environment, comprising not just the physical elements of the city but also its sociocultural communities, has embodied priorities imposed on the oil industry that have shifted as the global importance of oil and natural gas has grown, as those commodities’ uses have changed over time, and according to successive regimes’ respective political and economic ideologies.

Reconfiguring a Public Place. Baku Promenade Between Europe and Asia1
4-1 _________________________________________________________ Reconfiguring a Public Place. Baku Promenade between Europe and Asia1 Tsypylma Darieva “Baku is perhaps the only true Eurasian city on the world map, not only geographically but in its unique ability to synthesize both European and Asian architectural styles which are indicative of the mental synthesis that has taken place in cultural and social realms as well,” wrote Pirouz Khanlou, a local architect in Baku in the winter of 1998.2 This statement was part of the narrative reflecting the changing socioeconomic and political order of the cityscape, which was challenged by powerful urban fear discourse that started in Baku at the end of the 1990s. Present in everyday talks, interviews, and reports in the local media in the late 2000s, this discourse was shaped by the fear of losing Baku’s peculiar identity and vanishing “real Bakintsy” replaced by rural migrants. The discourses were intermingled with nostalgic memories of Soviet Baku characterized by a specific urbanism based on cosmopolitan culture, civilized order, and security. The specific Bakuvian urbanity also found its expression in a mix of traditional Oriental residential neighborhood sociability, the materiality of socialist infrastructure, and the pre-socialist European-style built environment. The cosmopolitan character of the built environment provided a space for different forms of interaction within a multiethnic population and elevated the meaning of Russian as the lingua franca for Bakintsy, used as the dominant tool for communication, social interaction, and urban control. Bakintsy are considered to be the opposite of rural migrants in terms of their urban manners, multiethnic background, higher level of education, and fluent command of the Russian language.
