Manchester is a relatively new city. It was not until the eighteenth century that this once inconspicuous medieval settlement came to the world's attention for the manufacture of cotton earning it the colloquial name of 'Cottonopolis'. Its development at the forefront of the industrial revolution rapidly formed the foundations for the great city we see today. The wealth generated by Victorian industry tended to be re-invested locally as evidenced in the grand buildings with their magnificent interiors that still stand today. A number of cotton magnates also left financial legacies for the founding of colleges, libraries and galleries, which have enriched the lives of generations ever since. These historic structures rear proudly in and amongst the glass clad buildings of more recent architectural styles. The City's 'Coat of Arms', granted in 1842, proclaims Manchester as 'a city of global trade and industry, built on extreme courage, bravery, strength and discipline and filled with peace and harmony'. This is no exaggerated boast as Mike Heath's photographic journey around the city proves, in this new and updated edition of his hugely popular work. It includes images of Manchester's shiny new structures with their state-of-the-art architecture, rejuvenated Victorian buildings complete with their flamboyant interiors, nineteenth century institutions that have stood the test of time, road, rail and water transport past and present, and covers some the major annual events that bring this vibrant city to life all year round.

The giant city of today is a unique phenomenon. Never before have such acute problems of government, the provision of essential services, planning, social life, and civilized living arisen from uncontrolled urbanization. In the West and in the East, in the more developed and in the less developed countries, in capitalist and communist states, the great metropolis represents a problem of the first importance which challenges the statesman, the official, the town planner, the political scientist, the sociologist and, above all, the intelligent citizen. The editor has here assembled an authoritative series of studies describing the growth, significance, government, politics adn planning of twenty-four great cities of the world. They show how these widely scattered cities faced essentially similar problems. Each study deals with the actual working of one city in the 1950s, how its elective adn executive bodies are organized, the kind of political forces which motivate their activities, the scope and character of the municipal services, how they are finiance. The cities dealt with include Bombay, Amsterdam, Moscow, Montreal, Stockholm, Rome, New York, London, Sydney and Tokyo. This book was first published in 1954.

Great City Parks is a celebration of some of the finest achievements of landscape architecture in the public realm. It is a comparative study of thirty significant public parks in major cities across Western Europe and North America. Collectively, they give a clear picture of why parks have been created, how they have been designed, how they are managed, and what plans are being made for them at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Based on unique research including extensive site visits and interviews with the managing organisations, this book is illustrated throughout with clear plans and photographs– with this new edition featuring full colour throughout. Tate updates his seminal 2001 work with 10 additional parks, including: The High Line in NYC, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and Westergasfabriek, Amsterdam. All the previous city parks have also been updated and revised to reflect current usage and management. This book reflects a belief that well planned, well designed and well managed parks and park systems will continue to make major contributions to the quality of life in an increasingly urbanized world.
