Abstract:

The Finnish-Estonian writer Aino Kallas lived in London between 1922 and 1934, being the wife of the first Estonian ambassador to the Court of St James’s. In 2011 her memoirs of these years were published in Estonian translation under the title Londoni võlus (Enchanted by London). Being a romantic and a modernist, Kallas in her memoirs combines a heightened sensitivity with the rigours of the modernist style in order to convey in striking images what she recalls about persons and events in London between the wars. The article below will look at some of these characteristic images that convey her vision of London that is full of enchantment.

Abstract:

The term ‘regeneration’ has become ubiquitous in urban planning and is often used loosely to describe many urban interventions, including those of a purely commercial nature that renew (and often destroy) urban fabric purely for private profit. There is nothing inherently wrong with development for profit, but regeneration should imply something subtler, complex and multi-faceted. If, as urban practitioners, we ignore the social dimension of urban change and fail to redress existing imbalances then we are complicit in perpetuating social inequalities. Urban regeneration should be driven by an agenda to improve social wellbeing. As practitioners we have a moral imperative to address inequalities and develop design strategies to remove barriers to social integration, real or perceived. On the surface, London appears to be a multi-cultural city without the political or stark socio-spatial divisions that are seen, for example, in the banlieues of Paris. There are wealthier and poorer neighbourhoods of course but, due to its history and post war planning policies, most neighbourhoods are socially mixed. The divisions in London, however, are subtler and fine grained. The city is open (and indeed there are few, if any areas that are too dangerous to enter) but perceived barriers exist – invisible lines that divide the city, isolate some of its inhabitants and inhibit social mobility. This paper will look at the conditions that create divisions in London and will examine strategies that can break down the physical and psychological barriers within cities. It will use the Kings Cross regeneration scheme as a central case study

Abstract:

The creative class has become the target of many politicians and entrepreneurs to develop the economy and has also become a unique indicator of whether a city has the development potential in the future. In the process of constructing the city, the majority of the researchers study the environment, economy, and societal problems separately and make use of the specialized discipline to construct the new city. In this article, the author focuses on city development and its influence on real estate prices, with London as an example. In this article, the author studies the social issues resulting from Londons city development, including environmental pollution, single industry structure, exhaustion of resources, and hiring. Secondly, this paper analyses the industrial reconstruction strategy, the theme of Londons Creative Industry. Finally, this paper explains the influence of the culture industry on the economic development of urban areas. Taking London as a case study, the author proposes suggestions on the problems of urban development caused by improper urban planning and how to improve these problems.

Abstract:

This article examines the ways in which migration from rural homesteads in Sylhet, Bangladesh, to urban flats in London has affected the practices of British Bangladeshi families around gender and childhood. Drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu on the “Kabyle house,” I describe relations between the spatial arrangement of homes and practices. Analyzing the “Sylheti bari” (rural homestead) and contrasting it with the “ Londoni (British Bangladeshi) flat,” I describe the significance of the way in which ideas of “inside” and “outside” have translated from one setting to another. I will show how the translation of these ideas to the urban landscape in London affects British Bangladeshi practices surrounding headscarf wearing, children’s play, and socializing, as well as attitudes toward school and language.

Abstract:

London city hall is landmark, located on the south bank of the River Thames, which is different from other city halls. It is regarded as one milestone because its special shape, facade and construction. This building promotes new values to promote not only for Londons citizens, but also for visitors. This government building is open for the public; it makes interpersonal communication more and more convenient, or zero distance. With great innovation comes a greater responsibility towards government and society. Although there was much public criticism, especially in matters of money, the value of this government building is more than it costs.

Abstract:

This paper aims to present impressions of London “indisputably the capital of literature”, by two culturally diverse novelists and their works: the first is the Saudi diplomat, novelist, and poet Dr. Gazi AlQosaibi’s (1940-2010) Bye-Bye London (2002) and the American renowned Pulitzer Prize winner Anna Qindlen’s (1953) Imagined London (2004). The researcher used a textual analysis approach to analyze the novels. This study is an add-value to the body of knowledge by contributing to the literature of A Memoir of London and Imagined London. It addresses the manifold concept and diverse determinations of images related to the identity of London. In addition, it examines the different representations that reflect the different circumstances, defined by time and place in London. A thorough reading of both works will not only provide many insights about London, the city, but also a literary and intellectual biography of the writers themselves. Thus, a reading of their works, comparing, and contrasting them will be ostensible to further highlight their recollections, reminisces, and experiences of “the capital of the world”. The results showed that Bye, Bye London, and Imagined London are examples of honor to a metropolitan that includes one of the greatest fictional and ancient pasts. These novellas are not as thorough as Peter Ackroyd’s London: a Biography (2001) which Quindlen positions in the volume.

Abstract:

Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Herkunft der Londoner Findelkinder im Zeitraum 1749–60. Auf der Grundlage der Aktenbestände des ‘Foundling Hospital’, ergänzt durch Material der wöchentlichen ‘Bills of Mortality’ wird nachgewiesen, daß die Findelkinder tatsächlich uneheliche Kinder waren, wie bereits von den Zeitgenossen vermutet. Dagegen waren der Verlust der Eltern oder deren materielle Verarmung kein Grund dafür, daß Kinder ins ‘Hospital’ geschickt wurden. Es zeigt sich, daß das Illegitimitätsniveau Londons über dem nationalen Durchschnitt lag – ganz im Gegensatz zur Situation um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Darüber hinaus wurde die Zahl unehelicher Kinder (abzulesen an der Zahl der Findelkinder) stark von ökonomischen Bedingungen (gemessen am Brotpreis) beeinflußt. Die zeitlich verzögerte Bewegung beider Faktoren legt für London ein spezifisches Verhaltensmodell der Brautwerbung nahe, demzufolge die Heirat als durch das ‘Hofmachen’ bestimmt erscheint, während umgekehrt dem ländlichen Modell eine Form der Brautwerbung entspricht, die von der nachfolgenden Heirat bestimmt ist. Eine Bestätigung dieses Modells ergibt sich aus der Untersuchung des Einflusses der Preisentwicklung auf die in London geschlossenen Ehen. Anschließend wird das Modell im Zusammenhang mit den im 18. Jahrhundert auf dem Lande zu beobachtenden Veraänderungen des Hofierens, der Heirat, der vorehelichen Schwangerschaft und der unehelichen Geburten diskutiert. Daraus ergibt sich die These, daß London als Schnittmacher gesamtgesellschaftlicher Veränderungen in den Verhaltensmustern der Brautwerbung angesehen werden kann.

Abstract:

The article analyses the lexeme London, especially the syntagmatic sequences with it which are regarded as key realisations of the London supertext that the name of the capital generated in the English language and literature. Supertext is viewed as a language unit – an emic text, which is the semantic invariant for a group of texts that have a similar topic. At the level of mental representations, any ethno-specific cultural concept, for instance, corresponds to its supertext which may be either real (verbalised) or potential. In accordance with this conception, the London text is constituted by a set of semantic components and contains mental algorithms for their predication. Being deployed from its text paradigm (sort of mental matrix), it may be translated (that is verbalised) by means of semantically related syntactic sequences. The article establishes the etymology of the lexeme London and considers its derivatives. The necessity of analysing the etymology of the word lies in the fact that the London supertext incorporates both contemporary or relatively stable meaning and the initial diachronic meaning to be looked for in the lexeme that names it. The latter constitutes the “memory” of the supertext, which is present in it in posse as a set of virtualised semantic components. Further examined are a corpus of set phrases and phraseological units containing the lexeme in question. A study of the derivatives of the lexeme London (ten in number) has yielded a fuller access to the structural components of the supertext considered. The study has taken into account two sememes of each derivative – those of its stem and of its affix. As the article demonstrates, the semantics of the derivatives largely depends on the realisations of the supertext which they are part of. It has been revealed that a number of the derivatives analysed have the status of rare or nonce-words. The stem of the derivative ensures a concrete filling of a general schematic or frame-type action expressed by the affix. Set phrases (114) and phraseological units (15) with the word London have been considered as realisations of various semantic components of the London text. These units and phrases account for the inclusion of the supertext into intertextual paradigms, and reflect the standard object-to-object relations that are typical of the British civilisation. Among the set phrases, the article distinguishes compound non-idiomatic nominations (75), bound non-idiomatic terms (25), and phraseological units featuring various degrees of idiomaticity (14). Phraseological units permit tracing the historical stages in the formation of the London text, and testify to a high frequency of the use of its name. Phraseological units also incorporate realisations of the peripheral components of the supertext, resulting from the actualisation of its idiolectal semantic components.

Abstract:

Abstract. London's development pattern graphically illustrates the importance and problems of urban definition. The pattern we observe is radically different depending on whether one examines the data for administrative definitions of London or London defined on functional boundaries. Even the answer to such an apparently simple question as to whether London was growing or declining varies according to the definition of London taken; the ambiguity as to whether London was decentralising, re-centralising or declining is equally striking. Even functional definitions of London and EU cities produce different pictures of the relative patterns of development, depending on whether those functional boundaries are fixed to reflect spatial patterns of employment and commuting at a given date or are updated lo current patterns. For reasons we can identify, this makes much more difference to results in some cities than it does in others. Updating the functional boundaries of London, for example, makes much more difference to ils measured size than is the case with Paris. London and Londoners are historically adapted lo long dislance commuting and strongly contrasting patterns of residential segregation compared to Continental European cities (especially Paris).These have been re-inforced by land use planning which generates a strong force for London's growth to leapfrog across the South East of England spawning satellite centres as it goes. Despite these measurement problems. however, the evidence allows one to conclude that there has been a sharp change in trends in London both absolutely and relative to other major EU cities. Recently population has been growing and recentralising and London's economic Performance improving.

Abstract:

Abstract Michael Moorcock is often described as “one of the most prolific and varied writers working in Britain” (Malcolm 146). His success as a writer and editor of science fiction and fantasy literature is well established, but he is also the author of two novels about London, Mother London (1988) and King of the City (2000). Hardly known, Mother London by Michael Moorcock, offers itself to a variety of approaches that have been widely discussed in the context of studies on English literature during the Thatcher years, post-modernism, and psycho-geography. The novel resonates with the author’s own childhood in war-time London without being autobiographical. It tells the story of three Londoners who were traumatised during the Blitz. The following article focuses on the mysteries of subterranean London that represents the hidden and unconscious identities of its inhabitants in the post-war period.

Full text

Abstract:

By the 1990s, the average speed of trips across London was below that at the beginning of the twentieth century—before the car was introduced—and by the end of that decade, public concern over levels of traffic congestion was high. In early 2003, London imposed a congestion charge—a daily charge for driving or parking a vehicle on public roads within central London between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. on workdays. Traffic congestion has declined substantially, and the program is largely popular. This article describes the origins of the London congestion charge, how it overcame practical and theoretical difficulties, and what effects it has had. The introduction of the London congestion charge is, in important respects, a triumph of economics. It represents a high-profile public and political recognition of congestion as a distorting externality and of road pricing as an appropriate policy response.

Abstract:

Ji Eun Lee, “Wooshing London: Unsettling Acceleration in H. G. Wells’s Tono-Bungay” (pp. 455–490) This essay reads H. G. Wells’s Tono-Bungay (1909) in the context of “wooshing” London—I take the word from the story—to see how the unsettling effect of this rapid urban mobility translates into the generic form of the novel. At the turn of the twentieth century, London was wooshing—that is to say, people and things in the city were moving by being displaced into a rushing flow, unprepared and unconnected, as the city was taken by revolutionary forms of urban transportation such as pneumatic and electric tubes, trams, elevators, escalators, motor buses, and cars. The word “woosh,” which was first used around the time that this mobility came into being, denotes a quick rushing movement based on hydraulic flow, and linguistically it functions as an interjection or a void in the semantic and syntactic flow of a sentence. Tono-Bungay shows different modes of unsettlement pervading London such as the whirlpool, passing stream, and flood. Yet it presents “woosh”—the way in which the patent medicine Tono-Bungay works and moves in commerce—as the ultimate mode of unsettlement that disconnects and displaces the locus of movement. Likewise, in Tono-Bungay, there is no locus of agency in the process of urban walking or in the reading process disrupting the narrative syntax. By emptying out the individual locus in the disconnecting, accelerating flow of his narrative—as London does in its urban mobility—Wells revises the genre into a form that embodies the city’s unsettling power.

Abstract:

Elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) have been associated with adverse health outcomes in children, including reduced lung function and increased rates of asthma. Many parts of London continue to exceed the annual average NO2 concentration of 40 µg/m3 set by the EU directive. Using high-resolution maps of annual average NO2 for 2016 from the London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory and detailed maps of open spaces from Britain’s national mapping agency, Ordnance Survey, we estimated average NO2 concentrations for every open space in Greater London and analysed geospatial patterns comparing Inner verses Outer London and the 32 London Boroughs. Across Greater London, 24% of play spaces, 67% of private parks and 27% of public parks had average levels of NO2 that exceeded the EU limit for NO2. Rates of exceedance were higher in Inner London; open spaces in the City of London had the highest average NO2 values among all the London Boroughs. The closest play space for more than 250,000 children (14% of children) under 16 years old in Greater London had NO2 concentrations above the recommended levels. Of these children, 66% (~165,000 children) lived in the most deprived areas of London, as measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivations, where average NO2 concentrations in play spaces were on average 6 µg/m3 higher than for play spaces in the least deprived quintile. More action is needed to reduce NO2 in open spaces to safe levels through pollution reduction and mitigation efforts, as currently, open spaces in Greater London, including play spaces, parks and gardens, still have dangerously high levels of NO2, according to the most recent NO2 map.

Abstract:

The London Ear Festival is a small contemporary chamber music festival in London, now in its fourth edition. The festival is centred on the venues of the Cello Factory (its festival hub) and the Warehouse, near Waterloo. Despite its centrality and accessibility, the festival maintains a community and village feel: a sort of musical oasis. This year's festival, running 9–13 March, was timetabled against a number of other notable concerts in London – not least those celebrating Michael Finnissy's seventieth year – and so can be commended on its ability to draw audiences despite this clash, suggesting, perhaps, that it is genuinely offering something musically different and desirable.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT:The London Bridge Waterworks (LBWW) was founded in 1581 and lasted until the removal of the bridge in 1822. The waterworks was one of the largest water companies in London during this time. In contrast to the other water companies, its history was closely tied to both the bridge itself, as well as the City of London. Its initial growth was linked to the City's expansion, but was more limited in the eighteenth century because its pipes could not reach the expanding suburbs. This article describes the LBWW mostly at its height around 1745, when its surveyor produced a detailed engineering report of its technology.

Abstract:

Following the 2004 London mayoral election, the successful candidate, Ken Livingstone, set up a Living Wage Unit to produce a figure for a living wage for London and to push for its implementation across a number of London-wide public employers. This article critically examines the way in which the living wage for London has been calculated and the assumptions on which it is premised. The article argues that while the Greater London Authority should be applauded for being the first local authority in Britain to commit itself to a wage premised on a notion of need, it is difficult to consider its suggested wage to be a living wage because of flaws in the way it has been calculated.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article presents a systematic analysis of morphosyntactic variation in London English, investigatingwas/werevariation in the speech of adolescents and elderly speakers in a multicultural inner London area and a less diverse outer London area. In outer London, dialect leveling to a mixedwas/weren'tsystem is well underway, as in many other areas of the U.K. Negativeweren'tis frequent and a grammaticalized invariantweren't ittag is developing. In inner London, variation in adolescent speech is strongly influenced by ethnicity, resulting in a lower overall frequency ofwasleveling and, in negative contexts, a mixed pattern of leveling to bothwasn'tandweren't. The patterns of variation of Anglo “heritage” inner London adolescents differ both from elderly speakers in the same area and from their peers in outer London. Our analysis confirms the need for socially realistic models of language change that take account of the social diversity of large multicultural urban cities.
