> Roger Parry and Professor George Hazel, entitled Making Cities Work,
> along with an eponymous competition to submit case studies of urther

> be of interest with a prize of Eur 5000, and a trip to one of the cities
> featured in the original book.

> reader thinking - it could live as a casual read for visitors at home,
> as much as an overview of cities pushing the boundaries forward,
> demolishing freeways, and car parks to reclaim the human scale of an
> inner city, creating memorable transport gateways into a city, or
> moving people around with innovative funding and solutions - official
> publication by Wiley - 19th Feb.
