DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Case for Town Planning: A Practical Manual for the Use of Councillors, Officers, and Others Engaged in the Preparation of Town Planning The first of these reasons is that many members and officers of Local Authorities, and others interested in the subject of Town Planning, have been kind enough to order copies of the book in advance, and as a result the financial risk in publishing has'been appreciably lessened. The second reason is that Councillors and Officers of Local Authorities in Great Britain are quietly and steadily proceeding with their work of administration in calm confidence that the storm will pass away and that the foundations of our national life will be as secure as ever' they were. It is for men of this type and this temper that the book has been written. It is hoped that with this book in their hands they will be able to use the period of waiting by quietly maturing their plans for the period of fresh activity and growth which will follow the war. From one point of View indeed the period in which this book is published is a specially favourable one. The sense of common citizenship was never greater than it is to-day, and proposals in regard to the improvement of the conditions under which the masses Of the people live will receive warm support. Of the many criticisms which will be expressed in regard to this book the chief will certainly be that it is more a compilation than a book. If this be a fault, then it has been deliberately committed. Many quotations have been made on the ground that they will help to make clear several difficult points. If this desirable result is attained, then the main object in the writing of this book will be achieved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

(2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The relationship between culture and urbanism has been the focus of much discussion and debate in recent years. While globalisation tends towards a homogeneity, successful 'global cities' have a strong individual - and particularly cultural - identity. The economic value of the culture of cities lies not only in the arts taking place there but also in the city’s fabric, its architecture, and in its cultural heritage. This volume brings together a team of leading specialists to examine the policies of image and city marketing which have developed over the past 15 years and whether these are a continuity of earlier strategies. Featuring case studies which illustrate diverse perspectives on linking culture, urbanism and history, the book reviews heritage and planning culture, looking at the experience of urbanism in the 'Old Historic City'. The book also assesses the increasingly important issue of urban images and their influence on planning strategies.
