Looks interesting, it may be of interest that I did the urban planning and cities entries for the last new edition of the Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought, which has UK and US coverage inter alia (Harper Collins, editor Stephen Tromby and for this, my entries were on prosaic, set subjects such as urbanization, green belts, conurbations, world city growth etc For your publication you are obviously at a totally different level aimed at the academic reader and incorporating the great and the good As to issues consider urban spatial planning and policy-making, diversity and gender, biodiversity and sustainability, human ethnographic community level studies, cultural geography I have probably misread the subject and am unrepentant feminist and urban planner, neither of which is very good to be Professor Clara Greed School of Architecture and Planning Faculty of the Built Environment University of the West of England Bristol BS16 1QY UK -----Original Message----- From: Urban Geography Discussion and Announcement Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Mike Crang Sent: 02 February 2005 22:06 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [URB-GEOG-FORUM] Encyclopedia of Urban Studies We have completed contractual arrangements for a three volume Encyclopedia of Urban Studies, to be published by SAGE. This is a substantial project; the three volumes are projected to have some 750 entires, 900,000 words, with expected publication in 2007. One of the first tasks for the editorial staff is to specify the entries, and I thought I would ask list members to forward responses to the following questions (off list, perhaps). The editors will compile them and report back to the list. They will be doing this on several other lists as well, and we think it should be interesting to compare results across disciplines (which is one of the exciting aspects in thinking about the publication): What are the five most important studies in urban geography? What are the five most important recent studies (within last 5-10 years) in urban urban geography? If you were looking at the completed Encyclopedia of Urban Studies, what would be the first five topics or entries that you would look up?
