Abstract
Sir Peter Hall was one of the outstanding urban geographers of the latter half of the twentieth century. His name is synonymous with cities and urban planning. One can only marvel at the depth and breadth of his contributions to the understanding of cities that, for 50 years have enlightened our thoughts of cities past, present and future. We never worked directly with Sir Peter Hall, but as custodians of the Commission for Urban Geography of the International Geographical Union (IGU) we owe a huge collective debt to Sir Peter on behalf of our Commission and all urban geographers for the direction his life’s work on cities and systems has taken us.
