Acknowledgments

We thank the editorial team at Springer for their support in publishing this anthology of key works on the urban grid. We are particularly grateful to our primary editor Margaret Deignan as well as editorial assistant Catalina Sava, project coordinator Karthika Menon, and project manager Sindhuja Gajendran. We also acknowledge Julian Bakker for assisting with the transcription of several chapters included in the present volume. Given the nature of this edited collection as an anthology, many of the chapters have been previously published in different scholarly outlets, which have required the securing of copyright permissions to reprint them in the current volume. We therefore acknowledge all the authors whose works are included in this anthology, particularly those who have revised their original publications specifically for the present book. The permission fees for the republication of these studies were paid for with funds from a Book
