Pressestimmen
“Cities of Tomorrow remains the definitive story of modern Euro-American planning. The seamless integration of new information and perspectives in this latest edition reaffirms its status as a classic, compelling and extraordinarily readable synthesis.” Robert Freestone, University of New South Wales <!--end-->
"Peter Hall's new edition of Cities of Tomorrow is better than ever. With extraordinary skill he weaves the separate strands of planning of the last century into a rich tapestry that vividly displays its intricate links, perceptively portrays the foundations of today's profession yet cleverly reveals the field's enduring questions and concerns. To do this in one volume is a work of genius!" Genie Birch, University of Pennsylvania
This classic history of modern urban planning has now been updated for the new century with a third edition. Cities of Tomorrow is an excellent guide to the urban development of the 20th century, and a good platform from which to view the evolution of the 21st. Amanda Huron, Urban Land
Book Description
Cities of Tomorrow is a critical history of planning in theory and practice in the twentieth century, as well as of the social and economic problems and opportunites that gave rise to it. Trenchant, perceptive, global in coverage, this book is an unrivalled account of its crucial subject. It now appears in an edition covering the developments of the late 1980s and the 1990s."The city of enterprise has boomed and busted," the author writes. "Partly in consequence, the fate of the permanant underclass has if anything worsened; but, strange accompanying trend, the city of theory has become even more academically detached from the city of globalized, polarized reality."Peter Hall examines the urban consequences of the informational revolution, and assesses the value of new ideas such as sustainable urban development. He considers the cause and effect of economic decline in some cities and of spectacular growth in others. The rich he finds retreating into gated enclosures, the poor subsisting on welfare and the black economy. He compares the fate of the disadvantaged today to the sweatshop labourers of New York one hundred years ago: he concludes that "for these, their descendants, the way out may paradoxiacally be even harder, because those kinds of jobs no longer exist."Among the reviews of the first edition: "This is nothing less than a history of the ideology and practice of urban planning through the century ... It's all in this most readable tour de force, which makes a whole series of fascinating connections." The Architectural Review."This is the one book you have to read." American Planning Association Journal.

A MAGNIFICENT HISTORY OF VARIOUS "NEW CITIES" MOVEMENTS
12. Januar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Peter Hall (Professor of City and Regional Planning at UC Berkeley) has written many books on urban planning, and this 1988 book is a wonderful summary and history of various progressive "new cities" movements from 1880 to the present.
Hall includes chapters on such subjects as "Cities of Imagination," "Reactions to the Nineteenth-Century Slum City," "The Garden City Solution," "The Birth of Regional Planning," "The City Beautiful Movement," "The Corbusian Radiant City," "The Automobile Suburb," and more.
He begins by noting that "The really striking point is that many, though by no means all, of the early visions of the planning movement stemmed from the anarchist movement, which flourished in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first years of the twentieth."
Hall opines that "despite doughty competition, Ebenezer Howard (inventor of the "Garden City" concept) is the most important single character in this entire tale." He also observes that "The Stein-Wright Radburn cities are unquestionably the most important American contribution to the garden-city tradition. True, on strict criteria, like their European counterparts they fail to qualify; all three are now long since submerged in the general sprawl of suburbia, and to seek them out on the ground demands a good map and some degree of determination. But as garden suburbs, they mark perhaps the most significant advance in design beyond the standards set by Unwin and Parker."
Despite his enthusiasm, Hall is capable of objectivity: "the new towns are self-evidently good places to live and above all to grow up in; they do exist in harmony with their surrounding countryside and the sheer mindless ugliness of the worst of the old sprawl has been eliminated. But it is not quite as rich and worthy and high-minded as they hoped: a good life, but not a new civilization."
This book will be of considerable interest to persons interested in urban planning, the New Urbanism, Garden Cities, Ecocities, Village Homes, etc.
