Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Urban planning is not just about applying a suite of systematic principles or plotting out pragmatic designs to satisfy the briefs of private developers or public bodies. Planning is also an activity of imagination, with a stock of wisdom and an array of useful methods for making decisions and getting things done. This critical introduction uncovers and celebrates this imagination and its creative potential. Nicholas A. Phelps explores the key themes and driving questions in the circulation of planning ideas and methods over time and across spaces, identifying the contrasts and commonalities between urban planning systems and cultures. He argues that the tools for inclusive urban planning are today, more than ever, not solely restricted to the hands of planning bodies, but are distributed across citizens, a variety of organizations (what Phelps calls clubs) and states. As a result, the book sets the ground for the new arrangements between these groups and actors which will be central to the future of urban planning. By unsettling standard accounts, this book compels us towards more critical and creative thinking to ensure that the imagination, wisdom and methods of urban planning are mobilized towards achieving the aspiration of shaping better places. "A critical, internationally comparative guide to rethinking urban planning for the future"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 1. The majority of the peripheries and in-between spaces of the planet's urban regions are living spaces and working landscapes. Despite this, we understand little about the centrality of urban peripheries as the sites and spaces for some of the most imaginative, anticipatory, and purposeful instances of urbanism. This volume demonstrates the centrality of urban peripheries in all their variety with a view to reworking urban, architectural, design, planning, infrastructural, sociological, ecological, and geographical theory from the outside in. The book also examines the relationships of these new centralities to the metabolisms, assemblages, and urban political ecologies that exist beyond the built and imagined materialities of their immediate situation. Peripheral Centralities challenges the premise that the city and its downtown are the primary urban centers. A must read for any urbanist. -Bernadette Hanlon, Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning, Ohio State University This groundbreaking volume presents a novel epistemology of the urban. Peripheral Centralities is a call to action for the next generation of scholars as it brings about new imaginaries and provokes courageous and innovative thinking. -Camilla Perrone, Associate Professor, Department of Architecture, Urban and Regional Planning Unit, University of Florence Peripheral Centralities is rich in international examples, stylish and accessible. It is an original, imaginative exploration of the centrality of suburbanization to contemporary urban theory and built environment practice. -Fulong Wu, Bartlett Professor of Planning, University College London Features pioneering writing and illustrations on designed centralities in urban peripheries Presents a range of international examples covering most continents Offers novel theoretical interpretations from across the built environment disciplines. …
