Urban reflections
narratives of place, planning and change
Drawing on geographical, cinematic and photographic readings, this unique book looks at how places change, the role of planners in bringing about urban change, and the public’s attitudes to that change.
Urban Reflections looks at how places change, the role of planners in bringing about urban change, and the public’s attitudes to that change. Drawing on geographical, cinematic and photographic readings, the book offers a fresh incisive story of urban change, one that evokes both real and imagined perspectives of places and planning, and questions what role and purpose urban planning serves in the 21st century. It will interest urban and architectural historians, planners, geographers and all concerned with understanding urban planning and attitudes toward the contemporary city.
Mark Tewdwr-Jones is Professor of Spatial Planning and Governance at University College London’s Bartlett School of Planning and Architecture and the UCL Urban Laboratory. He is a recognised authority on urban planning, the politics of the city and the use of land.
