Product Information
This study describes the development of urban planning ideas since the end of World War II. Following the war, modern systems of urban and regional planning were established in Britain and most other developed countries. The book describes the changes in planning thought that have taken place between 1945 and the 1990s. The book outlines the main theories of planning, from the traditional view of urban planning as an exercise in physical design, to the systems and rational process views of planning of the 1960s; from Marxist accounts of the role of planning in capitalist society in the 1970s, to theories about planning implementation, and more recent views of planning as a form of communicative action .Product Identifiers
