’A panoramic contribution to the history of the modern city, revealing for the first time how temporary exhibits have left a permanent mark upon the urban landscape, and - which is where planning culture comes in - on society's perceptions of past, present and future.’ Michael Hebbert, University College London, UK ' ... a coherent collection of seventeen essays on planning exhibitions that have taken place since the mid-nineteenth century, and a useful introductory chapter, making it a fairly complete volume dedicated exclusively to planning exhibitions.... As the nineteen authors that contribute to this valuable book explain, planning exhibitions provided the opportunity to show the development of modern urban planning and design and through that played a major role in the transnational flow of planning ideas.' Town Planning Review 'The increasing use of information and communication technologies for the visualisation of planning proposals and impacts and the widespread use of web tools by urban planners, are just some of the new challenges confronting the future generation of urban (e-)planning exhibitions, which has much to learn from past experiences in the field, as this valuable edited collection of well written essays so clearly reveals'.
