Article Abstract
This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of collective memories of urban spaces, examining them from the perspective of mental maps. It is observed that urban memory reflects the socio-cultural diversity and inherent social inequalities of contemporary metropolises. Memory and cultural heritage play a significant role in urban dynamics. Furthermore, the clear influence of technology and the internet on how cities are experienced and remembered, as well as on the methods used to investigate these memories, is evident. Art-based and visual narratives, along with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), are valuable tools for studying collective memories in urban contexts through mental maps.

Although they have studied individual memory for almost a century, only recently have cognitive psychologists begun to study collective memory, a surprisingly lacunae given the centrality of collective memory in shaping collective identity and social action. The relation of this recent cognitive work on collective memory to the larger more social science- and humanities-oriented studies of collective memory is discussed. Current cognitive research is divided into bottom-up and top-down approaches, and examples of each approach are provided and discussed in term of their contribution to the larger effort of understanding the dynamics of collective memory.

We respond to Gillon's critique of our data-driven analysis of the history of (), in which we used a topic model to trace intellectual trends in the journal's first 50 years. Gillon, drawing on his personal memories as 's second (and longest serving) editor, challenges several of our findings, particularly those concerning the prominence and classification of topics such as In this reply, we clarify misunderstandings that led to part of his criticisms of our method. At the same time, we also briefly discuss some nuances of topic modelling, in particular, its reliance on simplified representations of text, sensitivity to modeling choices and topic interpretations.

This review synthesizes recent findings demonstrating that advantaged and disadvantaged groups construct divergent memory narratives, each serving distinct identity-related needs and motivating contrasting collective actions from status quo maintenance to sociopolitical change. Institutions such as museums and educational systems mediate these processes by either reinforcing dominant-group perspectives or enabling recognition of disadvantaged groups perspectives. We integrate these developments into the Asymmetric Memory-Identity Model (AMIM), which conceptualizes how memory content reflects power structures and contributes to maintenance or contestation of sociopolitical hierarchies.
