Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Synopsis:

So…. top-down, command-and-control doesn’t work for us any more, does it? Those in power tell us that bottom-up localism is the better way of addressing the sustainable growth and change of our cities, towns and neighbourhoods. They may be right. Despite the boom of recent years, we haven’t delivered the quality of place we all wished for. This paper will show why we haven’t had much success. It will show how we can learn from self-organising systems that we can find in traditional cities, in nature and in the Web, to develop a new and evolving paradigm. It will also show how new thinking has been applied in recent initiatives. It will also show how our behaviours in urban planning, design and delivery will need to change to meet our new urban challenges.
