Description
Britain faces extraordinary challenges, from climate change to growing inequality and global economics. Yet, as a nation, it has no clear plan for its future. This book asks how Britain can organise itself to build a fairer and sustainable society. The authors draw on the high ambitions of those who pioneered the planning movement, but whose drive for utopia has been forgotten. They explore the value of social town planning and offer a new perspective on how planning can help meet key challenges of the 21st century. This approach challenges widely held views that it's impossible to achieve a better future. Accessible to students in the built environment and wider social sciences, this book provides essential reading for those interested in UK and European examples of sustainable communities.
