  • Stephen Ramos (1970–2026)

    Open AccessJ R Gold, Carola Hein et al.ARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2026

    It is with enormous sadness and still with a sense of profound shock that we have to record the death of our esteemed colleague Stephen Ramos, who passed away on 20 January of this year. In the fol

  • Wanderers above the fog

    J R GoldARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2026

    The 1980s saw the challenges to understanding the contemporary city that arose from the full-scale retreat from top-down and holistic modernist approaches to city planning towards more fragmented, market-oriented postmodern approaches. This reflective review of two key texts – Marshall Berman's All that is solid melts into air and David Harvey’s The condition of postmodernity – provides a lens on key currents of thought about the experience of th…

    Everyone knows what an author is or, at least, they did. The Oxford English Dictionary, for example, provides a definition, with roots extending back to 1382, that few would find contentious. It st

  • Before its afterlife

    J R GoldARTICLEScottish Geographical Journal2025

    After commenting on the unpredictability of a book’s afterlife, this paper reflects on the process by which the edited collection Geography, the Media and Popular Culture was put together. The first of three main sections provides background as to how the project was initiated. The second reflects on the way that notions of ‘popular culture’ entered the frame, both as part of making sense of the papers that had been received and as part of addres…

  • Exhibitionary urbanism

    Open AccessAndrew Smith, J R Gold et al.ARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2025Referencias: 27

    International Expositions, World Expos or World’s Fairs – hereafter referred to simply as Expos – have helped to invent, develop and disseminate the modernity that has reshaped our world since the midnineteenth century, and have contributed to the globalization of economies, cultures, societies and environments. These events are inextricably associated with pioneering inventions and technological progress, but also with empire building and coloni…

  • Olympic urbanism

    Open AccessAndrew Smith, J R Gold et al.ARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2024

    City planning and urban change have become closely associated with the Olympic Games. Early editions of the revived Games had relatively limited effects on their host cities but, over the past century, hosting the Olympic Games has become an urban project rather than merely a sporting or geopolitical one.Footnote1 This is demonstrated by the ways in which key terms such as ‘legacy’ and ‘spectacle’ are now commonly used. Rather than memories, beha…

  • Planning, history … and the environment

    J R Gold, Margaret M Gold et al.ARTICLEPlanning Perspectives2023

    We occasionally remind ourselves that Planning Perspectives’ subtitle states that it is ‘an international journal of history, planning and the environment’. Most of that needs little clarification

  • Festival Cities

    J R Gold, Margaret M Gold et al.BOOKFestival Cities2020

    Festivals have always been part of city life, but their relationship with their host cities has continually changed. With the rise of industrialization, they were largely considered peripheral to the course of urban affairs. Now they have become central to new ways of thinking about the challenges of economic and social change, as well as repositioning cities within competitive global networks. In this timely and thought-provoking book, John and …

    This commentary on the contribution made by Kavaratzis and Ashworth (2005) examines the antecedents to which it responded, the key ideas that it offered at the time of publication, and assesses its lasting impact. There are three main sections. The first reflects upon the informal and improvised approaches that characterised place promotion, marketing and branding in the final decades of the twentieth century. The second surveys Kavaratzis and As…

  • Land remediation, event spaces and the pursuit of Olympic legacy

    Open AccessJ R Gold, Margaret M Gold et al.ARTICLEGeography Compass2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 75

    This paper explores the links between remediating land for Olympic event spaces and the pursuit of legacy. In particular, it considers ways in which redevelopment of the sizeable spaces prepared for staging the event take their place in broader strategies intended to bring long-term benefits to the host city and society in order to compensate for the costs and inconvenience originally incurred in hosting the Games. There are six main sections. Th…

  • City of Culture

    Open AccessJ R Gold, Margaret M Gold et al.CHAPTERThe Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia…2019

    Cities have always been centers of culture and cultural creation, and in recent years cities have recognized the instrumental potential of culture in addressing social and economic change. This entry considers one of the most influential programs to utilize culture in the service of urban strategy: the City of Culture project initiated by the then European Community in 1985, renamed the European Capital of Culture in 2005 and scheduled to last un…

  • Athens Charter ( Ciam ), 1933

    Open AccessJ R GoldCHAPTERThe Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia…2019

    Historians of town planning routinely emphasize the importance of the Athens Charter, a document said to have emerged from the Fourth Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) held in 1933. Supposedly based on functional analyses of cities compiled by CIAM's national member groups, the Athens Charter was purported to be a consensual statement of how modern architects thought about the task of designing the future city. After discussing…

  • Territoriality

    Open AccessJ R GoldCHAPTERThe Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia…2019

    Territoriality is an important part of the way in which individuals and groups bring the environment under their control. After an introduction that defines territoriality as the processes and mechanisms by which people establish, maintain, and exert control over bounded portions of the Earth's surface, this entry has four further sections. The first argues that the roots of territoriality stem from culture rather than instinct. The next consider…

  • Far Back in American Time

    George Revill, J R GoldARTICLEAnnals of the American…2018Citada por: 7Referencias: 41

    This article develops a geography of voice to address the ways in which cultures, regions, and nations are imagined, figured, and defined. It adopts Connor's (2000) notion of vocalic space as a starting point from which to explore folk song collecting practices in Appalachia. It develops this in relation to Bauman and Briggs's (2003) postcolonial critique of the status of language and speech in ethnographic theory. Historically, the Appalachian r…

  • Cities of Culture

    J R GoldBOOKCities of Culture2016

    City authorities in recent years have competed vigorously to gain the right to host international festivals. In doing so they are heirs to a long tradition, since cities have always served as a natural location for festivals and fairs, providing settings on a scale impossible elsewhere. Cities of Culture examines the role of the Western city as the scene of staged cultural events over the last 150 years. Adopting a lively comparative perspective,…

    Winning the right to host the Olympic Games is widely regarded as the most significant prize on offer in the never-ending contest between the world's leading cities for prestige and investment. This essay explores the implications and significance of being an Olympic city. After recognising the Olympics as a mega-event with inherent mega-project tendencies, it provides a chronological survey that shows the changing agendas that host cities have b…

    The aim of this paper is to understand the motives and effects of landscape adjustment during a period of heightened security consciousness. In this paper, the authors review aspects of the fear-landscape nexus in relation to the environments of everyday life, past and present, with particular reference to three important themes-marginality, spectacle and surveillance. In so doing this paper charts these three themes and clarifies the terminology…

  • Under Darkened Skies

    J R GoldARTICLEGeography2001

    Cities are the typical settings for science-fiction films, often as much part of the action as the actors themselves. This article explores the nature and meaning of the urban environments depicted in such films. The first section outlines the context of the city in science-fiction film and the second draws on films from 75 years of cinema history to identify the key urban prototypes that appear. The third section stresses the influence that trad…
