Book Synopsis The History of Urban and Regional Planning by : Anthony Sutcliffe
Book excerpt: This bibliography is a guide to the literature of planning history; that is, the evolution of urban and regional planning as a comprehensive, predictive activity requiring an overall view of the town or region and its structure. Urban and regional planning may be defined as the efforts and activities of public authority to guide the development of land in the interests of economic efficiency and common welfare. Thus the bibliography includes studies from a wide range of geographical areas, although the emphasis is on Western Europe and North America, for it is here that the main development has occurred.
