Based on cases and interviews in Britain; Europe and the United States; this book explains the recurrence of regional planning and of initiatives in regional governance; in a wide range of advanced industrial countries. Providing an analysis of the nature of regional planning and governance; the book traces the development of regional planning and the institutions associated with it. It also looks at the way that regions have been changing their form under pressure from economic and political developments and examines how regional planning and governance has responded; comparing experience in the UK; the rest of Europe and the US.

Andrew Marttila certainly knows how to take excellent photos of kitties. Tamar Arslanians comments and reviews of the Shop Cats are purrfect. I am thrilled to have discovered this book through KittenxLady. After I go cover-to-cover at least one more time; I will proudly display it on my coffee table. Now; when I visit my sister; Ill insist on visiting some of these kitties. :-) (My 9 year old boys; Maverick [top] and Rebel [bottom] with the book.)10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. The universe that is New York in the gleam in a shop cat eyeBy Martha FinneyBrilliant! Charming! Classic celebration of the heart and kindness of New York! Whats New York without its independent shops? And whats an independent shop without an independent car presiding? The photography is as charming and spontaneous as the writing. Serving up lovely portraits that are true without being gooey! Love. It.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Shop cats make NewYork a helluva town and a helluva book.By Joseph A PetruccioI pre-ordered this book as soon as I heard about it. Got it today. Wow!I thought Id only be reading stories about cats found in businesses in NYC; but it was more. Its a snapshot of; not only the incredible cats; but of the New Yorkers who share their lives with them. It shows how special New Yorkers are and how special the love is that New Yorkers have for their feline friends.The next time you see a cat in a shop; youll stop and think about the special place they hold in the life of that shop.The photos are beautiful. Paired with the incredible writing; they put you in each shop next to each and every Shop cat.Pick up a copy.
