Urban Reflections: Narratives of Place, Planning and Change
Autor Mark Tewdwr-Jonesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iul 2011
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.

Recenzii
Here's a new take on ciné and cité by a planning buff who follows the filmic interplay between urban intentions and outcomes, tracking the plot twists over the years in a drama that continues in real time - just watch it. Michael Hebbert, University of Manchester
We've long had books about places by geographers, and books about films and TV by critics - but they've remained in hermetically sealed compartments, separated by an impassable gorge. Mark Tewdwr Jones has triumphantly bridged the gap. Professor Sir Peter Hall, Bartlett Professor of Planning and Regeneration University College London
