But not everything is rosy, sometimes you may have some problems with Outlook. It has become the standard program for centrally managing different corporate email accounts and almost all email providers such as Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, and others. The book provides an excellent and diverse range of case studies from across Europe to show how the interrelationships between design, visioning, planning and governing are unfolded in practice.Microsoft Outlook is one of the most widely used programs in offices and companies to manage mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks. This book presents a promising way forward for a deeper understanding of design as an imaginative and creative practice and its role in spatial planning and rescaling of governance. Yet, imagination, as socio-cognitive function of our minds, enables us to generate images of a world that is no longer, or not yet, real and of places that are not perceivable with our senses. … the book provides interesting material for a wide readership, whether scholars of planning theory or urban studies to political scientists, while it is highly recommended for future spatial planners and designers.” (Eurasien Geography and Economics, April 28, 2020)“When we hear terms such as city, city-region or region we rarely pay attention to the role of imagination in the formation, preservation and decline of these spatial imaginaries. “The book’s great strength lies in the wide variety of empirical studies as well as the helpful perspective each contribution gives to the general themes.
The book provides an excellent and diverse range of case studies from across Europe to show how the interrelationships between design, visioning, planning and governing are unfolded in practice.Professor Simin Davoudi, Director of Global Urban Research Unit (GURU), Newcastle University, UK When we hear terms such as city, city-region or region we rarely pay attention to the role of imagination in the formation, preservation and decline of these spatial imaginaries. It aims at an increased understanding of how practices, engaged with the imagination of possible futures, support the creation of institutional capacity for strategic spatial planning at regional scales. Innovatively associating ideas with knowledge, it appeals to anyone with an interest in planning experiments in a post-regulative era.
It gathers theoretical reflections on these topics, and illustrates them by means of practical experiences in several European countries. This book discusses the role of regional design and visioning in the formation of regional territorial governance to offer a better understanding of (1) how a recognition of spatial dynamics and the visualization of spatial futures informs, and is informed by, planning frameworks and (2) how such design processes inform co-operation and collaboration on planning in metropolitan regions.
