Vocabulary
reference of them and their in context
Do both "them" and "their" imply "sites"? meaning that "both sites not only are produced by what has gone on in those cities, but they also contribute in the redefinition of these cities in the present day"?
Context:
both sites are located centrally in their respective European cities: literally and in terms of the implicit way they carry their urban pasts. As such, they are deeply implicated specifically in those cities, being produced by that which has gone on in them but also contributing to their reconstituted definition in the present day.

Without further context, I would interpret them and their to refer to the cities rather than the sites. It's not very clear though.

oh yes, I myself meant "cities" but now see that I have written "cites" in the question by mistake! So, you agree with me that they both refer to "those cities". Thank you.
