The Academy of Urbanism was founded in 2006 with a mission to
recognise, encourage and celebrate great places across the UK,
Europe and beyond, and the people and organisations that create and
sustain them. This book is a compendium of seventy five places that
have been shortlisted as part of the Academy's annual awards scheme
which covers great Places, Streets, Neighbourhoods, Towns and
Cities. Included are 75 places shortlisted between 2009 and 2013.
Each has been visited by a team of Academicians who have spent time
in the place, talked to officials and local people and sought to
understand what it is that makes them special and how they have
achieved what they have achieved. The Academy also commissions a
poem, a drawing and a figure ground plan to understand and
interpret the place. David Rudlin, Rob Thompson and Sarah Jarvis
have drawn on this treasure trove of material to tell the story of
these 75 places. In doing so they have created the most
comprehensive compendium of great urban places to have been
published for many years.
