<p>Product Description      In this important contribution to urban studies, Juliet Davis makes the case for a more ethical and humane approach to city development and management. With a range of illustrative case studies, the book challenges the conventional and neoliberal thinking of urban planners and academics, and explores new ways to correct problems of inequality and exclusion. It shows how a philosophy of caring can improve both city environments and communities. This is an original and powerful theory of urban care that can promote the wellbeing of our cities’ many inhabitants.      Review      "In this original and powerful book, a veritable tour de force that sets a new agenda for urban scholarship, Davis explores the interrelationships between urban design and the creation of places predicated on care and attentiveness to the wellbeing of ecologies and environments." Rob Imrie, Goldsmiths, University of London"This unique, timely book shows how urban design can change for the better if it recognizes interdependence and dependence as basic to how cities are organized - in short, by becoming care-full." Christopher Groves, Cardiff University      Review      “This unique, timely book shows how urban design can change for the better if it recognizes interdependence and dependence as basic to how cities are organized – in short, by becoming care-full.” Christopher Groves, Cardiff University      About the Author      Juliet Davis is a Reader in Architecture and Urbanism at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University.</p>

In the run up to the 2012 Summer Olympics, Stratford, East London, underwent major redevelopments, including the construction of the Olympic Park. To make room, many small businesses were forced to move.  Dispersal is both a stunning visual record of a neighborhood that has transformed beyond recognition and a commentary on the impact of these changes. Although it was often maligned as a postindustrial “wasteland,” Stratford was a melting pot of more than two hundred trades and industries. Photographers Marion Davies and Debra Rapp documented sixty small businesses—from belt makers to kebab makers, zinc galavanizers, and salmon smokers—before they were forced to move from the area in 2007. The unique photographs appear alongside a short account of the history of each business. While the photographs provide an impression of Stratford on the cusp of change, they also suggest a landscape shaped over time. How this landscape developed and evolved from the mid-nineteenth century is explored by urban planning and architectural historian Juliet Davis.
