Its due to be published in the autunm hopefully. Mapping the Imagined Future: The Roles of Visual Representation in the 1945 City of Manchester Plan by Chris Perkins and Martin Dodge Abstract Visual representations have often played a crucial role in imagining future urban forms.

The cultural production of these visual representations ...
