We design cities, landscapes and products for many reasons but as much as anything we do so for pleasure. From the new horizons of global tourism to the design of your local park, from the acceptable to the illicit, LA+ PLEASURE charts the economy, psychology, and spatiality of pleasure. This issue includes contributions drawn from disciplines as diverse as neuroscience, philosophy, visual arts, geography, landscape architecture, aesthetics, planning, architecture, marketing, tourism, urban studies, cultural studies, historic preservation, archaeology, and history. Featuring contributions by: Mark Kingwell, Richard Campanella, Josephine Kane, Ray Laurence, Jerry Van Eyck, Mark Raggatt, Vladimir Sitta, Morten Kringelbach, Phoebe Lickwar, Thomas Oles, and others.
