Since its publication in 1976; Ted Relphrsquo;s Place and Placelessness has been an influential text in thinking about cities and city life across disciplines; including human geography; sociology; architecture; planning; and urban design. For four decades; ideas put forward by this seminal work have continued to spark debates; from the concept of placelessness itself through how it plays out in our societies to how city designers might respond to its challenge in practice.Drawing on evidence from Australian; British; Japanese; and North and South American urban settings; Place and Placelessness Revisited is a collection of cutting edge empirical research and theoretical discussions of contemporary applications and interpretations of place and placelessness. It takes a multi-disciplinary approach; including contributions from across the breadth of disciplines in the built environment ndash; architecture; environmental psychology; geography; landscape architecture; planning; sociology; and urban design ndash; in critically re-visiting placelessness in theory and its relevance for twenty-first century contexts.
