How municipalities design their public realm strongly influences their economy and culture. There is an instinctual desire by people for beauty and peace in their surroundings. Places and spaces help to shape the civility of cities and the people in them. How cities compete in the global economy is affected by their physical realm and local planning decisions. These are just some of the provocative themes in Gord Hume's latest municipal masterpiece, Places and Spaces

From leadership to technology, from innovative ways of financing municipalities to huge social trends that are changing our communities and our countries, Gord Hume's latest book opens new windows for municipalities on how they are going to grow and prosper in coming decades

"Looking back at the conclusions of Lyndon Terracini's Platform Paper in 2007, A Regional State of Mind, Lindy Hume finds a restless giant. Through towns and communities she traces the rise of a more assertive, even radical ambition. a rebellious counter-urban movement ready to make a profound impact on the national culture. As an artist living in regional Australia, she finds it an ideal place to develop new performance work, and argues that more flow and greater integration between the regional and metropolitan arts ecosystems could, over time, reshape Australia's cultural identity" -- Publisher website

Now it makes it. From the phone-hacking scandal to rows about press regulation, super-injunctions, leaks, libel and privacy laws, the power of the Murdoch empire, and the future of the BBC, the media has become the story. The British press is in crisis and under scrutiny as never before.

There are not too few controls and restrictions on what can legitimately be published and broadcast, but too many - both formal and informal. Some newspapers in Britain and elsewhere might be going 'free' in financial terms, under pressure from declining sales and the n...
