London voices, London lives: Tales from a working capital

Description

"London Voices, London Lives" addresses a question of great current importance for urban policy: what kind of a place is London in the 21st century, and how does it differ significantly from other parts of urban Britain? It addresses these questions in a unique way: over one hundred ordinary Londoners provide their answers in their own voices.

Peter Hall is Professor of Planning and Regeneration at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning, University College London. Author, co-author or editor of over 35 books on urban and regional planning and related topics, he received the Gold Medal of the Royal Town Planning Institute in 2003 and the Balzan International Prize in 2005.

"This is a fascinating read. Hall's interviews illustrate theenormous diversity of people and perspectives that make London what it is, and the amazing capacity of Londoners to deal with the constant evolution upon which our city thrives." Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London
