<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mark, thanks for your reference to the book about
justice and the city, as also for Anthony Jays' about natural groupings, each of
which reflect much of what I believe my 'House' evidence deals with,
notably in the promise and the scope for an internal urban reconfiguration. Hope
we can meet/discuss in the autumn perhaps.</FONT></DIV>

Novy<BR>> Postscript: Beyond the Just City to the Right to the City<BR>>
by Peter Marcuse<BR>><BR>> Comments (thus far!) have been very
favorable:<BR>><BR>> "Reading The Just City, one becomes aware that
urban scholarship has<BR>> been inexorably leading towards a book exactly
like this one for a<BR>> long time. These essays synthesize the debates
that engaged us in our<BR>> studies of the 20th-century city, and chart out
the intellectual path<BR>> we will be taking in the 21st."<BR>><BR>>
-- /Dennis R. Judd, University of Illinois at Chicago/<BR>><BR>> "Here
at last are essays for our times. With the collapse of the<BR>> neo-liberal
order, we must rethink how we can construct a new life in<BR>> cities
around the world, a life based on conceptions of social<BR>> justice. The
essays in this volume are not only state of the art, but<BR>> are written
with passion, providing examples to stir the embers of<BR>> belief that we
can build a better world."<BR>><BR>> -- /John Friedmann, Prof. emeritus
UCLA, Hon. Professor, University of<BR>> British Columbia/<BR>><BR>>
"Cities were where the division of labour began. Then planned cities<BR>>
housed the ordered life of bourgeois commerce but excluded generations<BR>>
of women, poor people and migrants from the benefits of urban living.<BR>>
The idealised city was not the just city. Today, difference is<BR>>
recognised in urban discourses but a widening gap separates those who<BR>>
gain from a city’s opportunities and those who are disenfranchised on<BR>>
a global scale. Given an urgent need to understand how urban justice<BR>>
can be produced, this book is timely. It brings together some of the<BR>>
most accomplished commentators in the field. The writing is always<BR>>
incisive, ranging from philosophical discussion to examination of<BR>>
tensions in planning debates and case studies. The book offers a<BR>>
coherent approach without masking complexities, and should be required<BR>>
reading for anyone involved in urban studies, planning and
governance."<BR>><BR>> -- /Malcolm Miles, Professor of Cultural Theory,
University of<BR>> Plymouth, UK/<BR>><BR>> "The editors have
assembled a thought provoking collection of<BR>> theoretical and empirical
essays that offer a broad introduction to<BR>> the Just City movement of
planners and urbanists. Its editors and<BR>> contributors take us through a
comprehensive analysis of the<BR>> relationships between justice and the
lived urban environment."<BR>><BR>> -- /Herbert J Gans, author,
IMAGINING AMERICA IN 2033. Robert S Lynd<BR>> Prof. Emeritus of Sociology,
Columbia University/<BR>><BR>>
