New City Life

Danish Architectural Press, 2006. Gekartonneerd. Pp: 180. "New City Life tells the story of the gradual development of industrial society's essential city life to the elective city life of a leisure and consumer society. Where city life was once a necessity and taken for granted, today it is an option. For that very reason this is also the story of a transition from time when the quality of city space did not play much of a role in its use to a new situation in which quality is a crucial parameter. Contemporary experience shows that when quality city space is provided it attracts an extensive and multifaceted city life with many new features that reflect the changes in society. Now as before city space is the framework for people's meetings, the society and each other. In a society where concepts such as democracy, diversity and security are important dimensions, the extended use of city space must be seen as a valuable advance. And for the same reason, modern requirements for good city space quality must be honoured. Now as before, facilitating the meeting between people is the most important collective function of the city. New city life with its demands for good city space is a new guise for one of the most important aspects of city culture. This book is based on the comprehensive and detailed study of city life in Copenhagen over the past four decades, conducted by the Center for Public Space Research at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts." - back cover.

ADAIR (James):

Glimpses behind Edinburgh City Life. An Address. Delivered by request to a body of representative Church and published by certain of their number. For Private Circulation.

[Edinbugh]@ Printed in Great Britain by William Blackwood & Sons Ltd. 1934. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 8vo, 183 x 120 mms., pp. [3] - 31 [32 blank], with pagination including paper wrappers. A little worn at corners but a very good copy. James Adair, O.B.E. (1886-1982) was the Procurator-Fiscal for Edinburgh from 1919 to 1937. He is very much a bête noire for the LGBT community, and Jeff Meek, in a blog entitled "Queer Scotland Scottish Queer History and Culture," describes him as "unwavering [in his] opposition to homosexual law reform." In this pamphlet, he describes the less salubrious side of life in Edinburgh: drinking habits, prostitution, "coffee-stalls," and directly warns against "men in our midst who have secrets in their breasts that they must keep, and who require courage and help if any of that type prepared to play on their knowledge get a grip of them." Adair was a member of the committee that formed the Wolfenden report, which recommended that "homosexual behaviour between consenting adults in private should no longer be a criminal offence"; Adair was the only one on the committe to oppose this proposition, Uncommon: the only copy that I have located is in the NLS.
