Situated at the crossroads of international trade routes, the historical architecture of Riga, the capital city of Latvia, was shaped by tides of different social and cultural groups that over many centuries left their mark. It is notable for its rich mixture of Gothic, Baroque, Russian Classical, German Art Nouveau and Finnish Modernist buildings. Janis Lejnieks describes why now, after the stultification of the Soviet era, as much of its 19th‐century building stock is threatened by decay and dereliction, Riga needs to invest in new, high‐quality architecture that will revive the dynamic cultural traditions of the city.
