I would particularly like to thank my wife for her support and encouragement in the writing of this book, which could not have been achieved without her. I would like to thank my daughter Alana for her input, particularly the bashing of my computer screen and the high level of annotation of my drawings. I would also like to thank friends and family who provided an incredible support network throughout this process, particularly Peter and Juliet Storey, Susan Cureton and Gillian Clark.

I would like to thank Louise Baird-Smith and Sad Lee at Routledge for their careful advice, guidance and production of this book. I would also like to thank Ed Gibbons for production and Gary Smith for copy-editing. The early chapters of the manuscript were kindly reviewed by Silvio Carta and Nick Dunn, and I would like to highlight their editorial work and quality of advice in the early draft stages. I would like to acknowledge some of the special contributions in particular: the drawing, mapping and masterplan collaboration with Kathryn Moore; the data and workflow typologies by Serena Pollastri; the diagramming of Sophie Parker-Loftus; the composites of Rich Miller; and the Space Syntax collaboration with Laurens Versluis. I would like to thank Steven Adams at SSAHRI, University of Hertfordshire for the ongoing support of my research work and Ben Davis for the assistance with image permissions. I would like to thank Tom Landell-Mills for his professional landscape practice advice and the team at Groundworks, Hertfordshire. Much of my work is future thinking and I would like to thank Nick Dunn for the continuing dialogue and collaboration on future cities that has provoked futures thinking in the course of my work.
