Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003ePart story, part atlas - this is a study of a city’s complexity. The most successful cities, the most interesting and sought-after ones, are those with an intrinsic and distinctive character that remain dynamic and relevant. They are complex and contradictory. And that is worth embracing. This is a visual, geographic and narrative journey that explains why London is the way it is today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing stunning maps and artful imagery, it makes a compelling case for a finer grain understanding of density through a character-based approach to planning. Each character area is broken down, exploring the characteristics and character-based development potential. For those planning and designing projects, this is a reference book for the early stages of a design project and can help to inform site analyses which form the part of most architectural commissions and urban design studies. For lovers of maps and London, it is a must-read.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   About the Author   \u003cp\u003eAntony Rifkin is a Partner at Allies and Morrison specialises in masterplanning and is currently working on regeneration projects across the country. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJane Manning is a Director at Allies and Morrison and has led the production of several high profile masterplans including including the Old Kent Road and Lea Bridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Elsea is a Director at Allies and Morrison and head of communications at the practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLionel Eid is an urban designer and Associate at Allies and Morrison. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Garofalakisis an urban designer at Allies and Morrison with extensive experience in GIS technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e                                           ","brand":"Jane Manning, Antony Rifkin, Daniel Elsea, Lionel Eid, George Garofalakis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46069874852074,"sku":"9781859468944","price":51.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/81rrDw7L3pL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781228472","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/complex-city-londons-changing-character","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
