Product Description
Product Description
This is the fifth edition of the classic text for students of urban and regional planning. It gives an historical overview of the developments and changes in the theory and practice of planning, throughout the entire twentieth century.
This extensively revised edition follows the successful format of previous editions:
- it introduces the establishment of planning as part of the public health reforms of the late nineteenth century and goes on to look at the insights of the great figures who influenced the early planning movement, leading up to the creation of the post-war planning machine
- national and regional planning, and planning for cities and city regions, in the UK, from 1945 to 2010, is then considered. Specific reference is made to the most important British developments in recent times, including the Single Regeneration Budget, English Partnerships, the devolution of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the establishment of the Mayor of London and the dominant urban sustainability paradigm
- planning in Western Europe, since 1945, now incorporating new material on EU-wide issues, as well as updated country specific sections
- planning in the United States, since 1945, now discussing the continuing trends of urban dispersal and social polarisation, as well as initiatives in land use planning and transportation policies
- finally the book looks at the nature of the planning process at the start of the twenty-first century, reflecting briefly on shifts in planning paradigms since the 1960s and going on to discuss the main issues of the 1990s and 2000s, including sustainability and social exclusion and looking forward to the twenty-first century.

An introductory book for students
4 Aug 2001
Format:Hardcover
When I was the first year postgraduate student in Bartlett School of Planning, UCL,University of London, this book was like a compass to explore the world of urban planning. The lecture by Peter was not easy, but something complicated. Because this book was highly recommended as an introductory book by UCL, I could overcome my lack of knowlege on Western planning context. If you need to understand the general and historical context of urban and regional planning in developed countries, this book is the best to satisfy your requirement.
