Routledge Revivals: Theories of Planning and Spatial Development (1983) (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Cooke, Philip

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1983, this book attempts to unify two bodies of theory which had become severely disjointed. Theories of the planning process had become detached from those of the urban and regional processes which are the subject of planning intervention. The author argues that major weaknesses of planning intervention in cities and regions have resulted from this split, and shows how it is possible to develop an integrated theory of the relationship between planning and spatial development.
