2022 Best Book in the Field of Urban Affairs

“The Urban Affairs Association’s Best Book award committee is please to award the 2022 Best Book in Urban Affairs Award to Tim Dixon and Mark Tewdwr-Jones’ Urban Futures: Planning for City Foresight and City Visions'. Urban Futures presents a real challenge for those working at the intersections of urban scholarship and practice, addressing historicism in a novel way.
