Is this complaint inevitable or can something be done to lend variety, colour, and meaning to these spreading areas? In a book full of good questions and apt illustrations, Mr. Carver examines what has provided a sense of community for city groupings of the past and how leading planners of our day (Ebenezer Howard, Frank Lloyd Wright) have suggested it be found for modern cities.His own proposal for achieving this goal is a very simple one and originates in the earlier views of a city as a place in which an urban society achieves its individual character by congregating around its own social institutions. Somehow today we have to recover this simple idea about a city and apply it to the contemporary sprawling urban region.";The exposing metropolis"; is a good descriptive term for the modern city, with its social institutions removed from the original centre and scattered into the suburbs. Now we should try to rearrange suburban growth so that each new community can grow up around its own vigorous and attractive ";Town Centre,"; a place that can command the interest and pride of those who live immediately around it. These small cities in our suburbs would not just be dormitories for their central core city, but rather communities in their own right and the new kind of town centre would give a focus for their social, political, and cultural life.The idea of metropolitan or regional government for large urban areas has been much debated in Canada. But there has not been a clear view of how such governments could give birth to new daughter communities around them. The establishment of new ";Town Centres"; in growing suburban areas would be a workable method of helping these new settlements through a period of growth. Housing and commercial developments would then be able to gather in an organized fashion around the focal point in a regional plan. It is hoped this suggestion will be taken up by local politicians and their professional staffs but they cannot steer towards long-term objectives of this kind unless the general public understands the general philosophy involved.This is a lively book, hopeful in its suggestions and cheerful in its phrasing, and it should provoke eager discussion. It is illustrated with unusual line drawings to point up the argument and with many photographs. 606 $aCities and towns 606 $aSuburbs 615 0$aCities and towns. 615 0$aSuburbs. 676 $a301.36/2 700 $aCarver$b Humphrey$032875 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148600703321 996 $aCities in the suburbs$9314240 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02268nam 22004813 450 001 9910157513103321 005 20231110225601.0 010 $a2-336-37130-8 035 $a(CKB)3810000000044861 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6150830 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6150830 035 $a(OCoLC)1148871837 035 $a(PPN)192703374 035 $a(Exl-AI)6150830 035 $a(EXLCZ)993810000000044861 100 $a20210901d2015 uy 0 101 0 $afre 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aLe Soufi et la Poe?sie $ePoe?tique de la Poe?sie Soufie Ottomane 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aParis :$cEditions L'Harmattan,$d2015. 210 4$d©2015. 215 $a1 online resource (256 pages) 225 1 $aThe?o?ria 311 08$a2-343-05723-0 330 $aThis book, authored by Mahmut Erol K?l?ç and translated by Paul Ballanfat, explores the profound connection between Ottoman Sufi poetry and Islamic culture. It examines the intellectual and aesthetic framework provided by Sufism, which influenced the poetic traditions of the Ottoman Empire. The author highlights how Sufi confraternities shaped the empire's cultural and artistic expressions, particularly through poetry that reflects spiritual states and divine inspiration. K?l?ç also critiques modern interpretations that neglect the religious and metaphysical aspects of Ottoman culture. The book is intended for scholars of Islamic studies, Sufism, and Ottoman literature, as well as readers interested in the intersection of spirituality and art. It offers a synthesis of poetic examples, philosophical insights, and historical context, serving as a valuable resource for understanding the role of mysticism in shaping Ottoman literary heritage.$7Generated by AI. 410 0$aThe?o?ria 606 $aSufism$zTurkey$7Generated by AI 606 $aMysticism$7Generated by AI 615 0$aSufism 615 0$aMysticism 676 $a894.3 700 $aErol Kilic?$b Mahmut$01081324 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157513103321 996 $aLe Soufi et la Poe?sie$92595099 997 $aUNINA
