Find Spot at the Zoo by Eric Hill

Find Spot at the Zoo by Eric Hill

The discussion of how cities would look if designed by women lies at the heart of this book, which explores the symbiotic relations between women and cities towards the attainment of regenerative neighbourhoods. What if Women Designed the City? offers a fresh perspective on urban development by giving voice to local women from many different countries and backgrounds who reveal multiple untapped potentials rooted in the uniqueness of their neighbourhoods. ? Drawing on in-depth walking interviews with 274 women, Dr May East identifies 33 leverage points ranging from the very pragmatic such as how cities could look if pavements were built, public transport networked, alleyways illuminated, and neighbourhood funds distributed; to the influence that shifts in mindset, distribution of power and rules of the system may have in democratising the way women and girls use and experience public spaces. Embedded in the richness of women's everyday life experiences of walking and living in the city, this book offers new lines of work for urban planners, policy-makers, practitioners, and communities to intervene in urban planning systems so that their cities can be greener, more inclusive, more liveable, wilder and poetic.

Eric Hill (Author, Illustrator)
Eric Hill OBE (1927-2014) was the creator of beloved children’s character Spot. He started his artistic career as an art studio messenger, before becoming a cartoonist and eventually, an art director at a leading advertising agency. In 1978, Eric made up a story about a small puppy to read to his son at bedtime and Spot was born. He published Where’s Spot? in 1980: an interactive children’s book with a pioneering lift-the-flap format combined with a simple story and charming, quirky illustrations. Its immediate success convinced him to become a full-time author, and Spot books have been enjoyed by children around the world ever since – as well as audio books, animation, toys and games.
