Issue 470 of the Journal of the London Society has just gone off to the printers, and members can look forward to receiving their copy before the end of the month. To whet your appetite, a preview (sans cover and with the page crop marks still in place) can be seen below. Contents include:

• Kathryn Firth profiles one of the most notable urban planners in the world, Toronto Chief Planner Jennifer Keesmaat, to find out why grassroots politics is still important and how she’s tackling the challenge of the suburbs
• Tom Haworth commutes each day from Newbury to north London. Here he muses on how the city might better accommodate its citizens.
• Are housing estates morally owned by those who live in them, or public assets for the good of the wider community? A new report sets out to referee. Ben Derbyshire, one of the report's authors, explains.
• A recent London Society discussion probed the value of high rise as the answer to our high-density housing needs. Is it really the inevitable panacea it's made out to be? The event's chairwoman Claire Bennie reports.
• Inaugurating a series on the best writing on London, past and present, Peter Watts selects some personal favourites
