<jats:p>Sir Peter Hall, who passed away on 30 July 2014, was best known for his contribution to urban planning scholarship and policy, but his training in, and early career orientation to, human geography instilled a strong spatial imagination in his work. His name is indelibly associated with important urban and regional planning concepts of enduring significance, including global, polycentric, and garden cities. Hall was an accomplished communicator with an encyclopaedic knowledge of urbanism and a sensibility to both history and futures research. He was a prolific author whose outputs not only crossed the town-gown divide but captured, on their own terms, the productive nexus between geography and planning.</jats:p>
