Urban Reflections looks at how places change, the role of planners in bringing about urban change, and the public's attitudes to that change. Drawing on geographical, cinematic and photographic readings, the book offers a fresh incisive story of urban change, one that evokes both real and imagined perspectives of places and planning, and questions what role and purpose urban planning serves in the 21st century. It will interest urban and architectural historians, planners, geographers and all concerned with understanding urban planning and attitudes toward the contemporary city.

Reviews
"Here's a new take on 'cine' and 'cite' by a planning buff who appreciates the filmic potential of urban intentions and outcomes. He tracks the plot twists over the years in a drama that continues in real time - just watch it." Michael Hebbert, Professor of Town Planning, University of Manchester
