Download or read book The Planning Imagination written by Mark Tewdwr-Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knighted in 1998 ‘for services to the Town and Country Planning Association’, and in 2003 named by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as a ‘Pioneer in the Life of the Nation’, Peter Hall is internationally renowned for the breadth and depth of his studies and writings on urban and regional planning. For the last 50 years, he has captured and helped to create the ‘planning imagination’. Here the editors have brought together in five themes a series of critical reflections on Peter’s vast and diverse contributions. Those reflections are provided by colleagues familiar with his work. The five parts are devoted to Peter Hall’s breadth of academic work, covering the history of cities and planning, London, spatial planning, connectivity and mobility, and urban globalization. Finally, as a sixth part, the editors have asked Peter Hall himself to reflect on his career and the sources of his imagination. The story this book tells is not one of a singular, totally consistent theoretical and philosophical view elaborated over several decades. Rather it covers a set of views that necessarily admits signs of Peter’s inconsistency and imperfection over the years – the insights and imperfections that inevitably accompany the exercise of a nonetheless remarkably fertile, restless and inspiring planning imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sting in the Twisted Tale is a collection of short stories. A number of the short stories are adapted from several of the authors published books, while a few others are extracts from the many works the author is working on and are yet to be published. In the short stories, the author creates scenes that visually jump to life and keep the reader in tension. The stories are a combination of rousing, dramatic, and at times comical look at the web of complications that arise from day to day life while others depict the brutal realities of war, crime, promiscuity, adultery and lies. As the events of each story begin to intermingle, the episodic discoveries and conflicts only become more interesting and compelling. The twists and turns in the stories keep building on top of complex and driven characters, and the stories crescendo extraordinarily to an unexpected and dramatic end. The characters in some of the stories exhibit unique and memorable qualities of both courage and determination while those in others, after all of their poor choices and moral challenges, the readers still empathizes with them.
