The Effect on Annuities Preference of Prompts to Consider Life Expectancy
State‐run pensions advice websites in the UK and the USA recommend considering how long the pension needs to last and offer a life expectancy calculator for this purpose. Theories make conflicting predictions regarding the effect on annuities preference of following this recommendation. We asked a quota sample of over 2000 UK residents to choose between an annuity or cashing out their pension. Whereas a control group made this choice without any …
Die‐by Framing both Lengthens and Shortens Life
Decisions regarding consumption over the lifespan require some estimate of how long that lifespan is likely to be. Payne et al. (2013) found that respondents' estimates of their own life expectancy are on average 8.6 years shorter when elicited using a die‐by frame than when elicited by a live‐to frame. If decision makers act on these life expectancies, then an arbitrary detail of framing will lead to drastically different choices. We propose tha…
Ordinary Cities
With the urbanization of the world's population proceeding apace and the equally rapid urbanization of poverty, urban theory has an urgent challenge to meet if it is to remain relevant to the majority of cities and their populations, many of which are outside the West. This groundbreaking book establishes a new framework for urban development. It makes the argument that all cities are best understood as ‘ordinary’, and crosses the longstanding di…

Development and New Forms of Democracy in eThekwini
Development and Urban Policy
City development strategies (CDS) have emerged as an important new initiative in international policy and practice. This paper considers their significance by exploring recent initiatives to formulate a city strategy for Johannesburg, South Africa. The Johannesburg CDS emerged out of the local demand for a post- apartheid vision for South African cities as well as a renewed enthusiasm for city-level economic planning within international developm…

Groups and Group Dynamics in a Therapeutic Community
This article describes a small residential therapeutic community in England that operates on a group model and uses transactional analysis as its main theoretical framework. The different types of groups and their functions are outlined, and the ways these fit together into a therapeutic regime is explained. Also described are the ways that group dynamics are viewed and attended to in this environment
A five-year plan? Providing a forum for excellence and diversity in geography
Political geography in a postcolonial context
Postcolonialising Geography
Within geography, postcolonialism has generated a strong interest in colonial histories and contemporary postcolonial politics, but this has not displaced the dominant parochial forms of theorising in the discipline. The paper argues for a more cosmopolitan theoretical project within geography, one whose routes through a range of intellectual traditions and contexts might encourage a broader scope to conversations about space and nature, and prod…
Feminism and the Spaces of Transformation
Feminist political theory draws on particular spatial imaginations in elaborating a politics of transformation. This paper establishes this in relation to two familiar accounts of feminist transformation – those of Judith Butler and Luce Irigaray. Respectively I read their work as suggesting that transformation of gender relations takes the form of ubiquitous revolution, taking place everywhere, or a distant dream of an (im)possible future – else…
Cultural geographies in practice
Gaps, Intellectual Enthusiasms, Personal Insecurities
Reparenting in a Therapeutic Community
This article describes a small residential therapeutic community in England that uses a reparenting approach. It outlines seven elements that seem important in enabling the community to work responsibly and effectively with seriously disturbed clients
Spaces of Democracy
Democracy is associated with particular kinds of spatialities. In this paper I address two aspects of the spatiality of democracy through an assessment of transitional arrangements for local government in South African cities. Political identities, as well as spatial arrangements, involved in democratic politics are associated with instability, uncertainty, and ongoing contestation. In democracies, the contestation both of identities and of space…

VII.— The Fourteenth-century Glass at Wells
The earliest painted glass preserved in the cathedral church of Wells— with the exception of the ten small tracery lights on the staircase leading to the chapter-house–belongs to the opening years of the fourteenth century. The reason for this is to be found in the history of the building. Begun under Bishop Reginald about the year 1186, it represents the period of transition between the Norman and the Early English styles. The thick walls with t…
