Special open access Peter Hall issue of Built Environment published

13 March 2015

Today the latest issue of Built Environment, published by Alexandrine Press, becomes available with full open access on Ingentaconnect:

It is authored by thirteen of Peter Hall鈥檚 former PhD students across a span of half a century, from his first supervision at LSE in 1965 to his most recent here at 香港六合彩.

There are contributions from (Clark University, MA), 聽(University of Michigan),聽Chia-Lin Chen (香港六合彩), 聽(University of Pittsburgh), (MIT), (Newcastle University), (University of Liverpool), (Istanbul Technical University), (Johns Hopkins), (Global Urban Development), (Cambridge) and (Melbourne University). The collection is edited by Michael Hebbert (香港六合彩) and聽 includes an epilogue by (Alexandrine Press) with whom Peter聽 worked as editor for almost forty years.

The collection has a double interest, for what it reveals about Peter鈥檚 extraordinarily wide-ranging research legacy, and for affectionate insights into his personality and mode of working. Highlights include:

how he provided an insider track for John Goddard鈥檚 analysis of the London office market of the 1960s
his early leadership in the computer revolution in geography, as evoked by Ray Wyatt
at the University of California Berkeley in the 1980s, his involvement in the activist, experimental work of the Western Urban and Regional Collective
the 鈥榮ide-trips鈥� that enabled him to research the seminal history Cities of Tomorrow while investigating the geography of the U.S. defence budget
his knowledge of the blues
how he flew to Australia and back (almost) the following day
and lots more !
