Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the year 1965. Mary Quant introduces the miniskirt to society in her shop in Chelsea; the Dalek-style Post Office Tower is opened; and the Beatles play their last ever live UK tour date. Most importantly, on 1 April, a new system of city government is introduced and London's thirty-two boroughs are born, revolutionising the capital into the place we know today.New names had to be chosen, councillors elected and policies formed; these boroughs and the Greater London Council between them took control of housing, roads, planning, schools and social services. Half a century on and, though the GLC was abolished in 1986, the boroughs live on, now working alongside a new metropolitan government headed by mayors Ken Livingstone and, since 2008, Boris Johnson.In London's Boroughs at 50, Tony Travers examines the governing system that developed alongside the growing metropolis and, by identifying the unique path each has taken over the years, tells the fascinating story of how our remarkably diverse boroughs have not only survived, but actively shaped both the city and the lives of its inhabitants in their impressive fifty-year history.

Download or read book Politics Planning and Homes in a World City written by Duncan Bowie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-02-25 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an insightful study of spatial planning and housing strategy in London, focusing on the period 2000-2008 and the Mayoralty of Ken Livingstone. Duncan Bowie presents a detailed analysis of the development of Livingstone’s policies and their consequences. Examining the theory and practice of spatial planning at a metropolitan level, Bowie examines the relationships between: planning, the residential development market and affordable housing environmental, economic and equity objectives national, regional and local planning agencies and their policies. It places Livingstone’s Mayoralty within its historical context and looks forward to the different challenges faced by Livingstone’s successors in a radically changed political and economic climate. Clear and engaging, this critical analysis provides a valuable resource for academics and their students as well as planning, housing and development professionals. It is essential reading for anyone interested in politics and social change in a leading ‘world city’ and provides a base for parallel studies of other major metropolitan regions.

Download or read book E Mobility in Europe written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on technical, policy and social/societal practices and innovations for electrified transport for personal, public and freight purposes, this book provides a state-of-the-art overview of developments in e-mobility in Europe and the West Coast of the USA. It serves as a learning base for further implementing and commercially developing this field for the benefit of society, the environment and public health, as well as for economic development and private industry. A fast-growing, interdisciplinary sector, electric mobility links engineering, infrastructure, environment, transport and sustainable development. But despite the relevance of the topic, few publications have ever attempted to document or promote the wide range of electric mobility initiatives and projects taking place today. Addressing this need, this publication consists of case studies, reports on technological developments and examples of successful infrastructure installation in cities, which document current initiatives and serve as an inspiration for others.

Download or read book Flats Families and the Under Fives written by Elizabeth Gittus and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1976, Elizabeth Gittus explores two contemporary social issues which were central to future housing policy in Britain at the time: the implications, for families with young children, of both the increased use of flats in new local authority housing, and the sporadic expansion of nursery education and other services for the under-fives. Discussion of these general issues is referred to the findings of a survey of families occupying local authority flats, maisonettes and houses, in four selected areas around Newcastle, centring on the mothers’ reactions to their housing situation and its effects on their children. The author documents the issues that had contributed to the pattern of new public housing from 1960 to the general election of 1974. Significant published data from a variety of sources are analysed at national, regional and local levels. The author’s findings support the contention that, for some young families, flat life remains unavoidable, and she examines the problem of providing opportunities for young children to play in such surroundings within the wider context of nursery education and other facilities for the pre-school child. She strongly advocates the fusion of official provision, voluntary effort, and parents’ participation in meeting the need for supervised play in the children’s free time.
