About The Book

<p>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 ‘<i>planning imagination</i>’.</p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p><p>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. </p>
