Description

Town Planning: The Basics provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental components of urban areas, including housing, transportation and infrastructure, and health and environment. It explains how appropriate policies can be developed and outlines planning activity at different scales of operation.

This book distinguishes between the "big stuff" - grand strategies for providing homes, jobs and infrastructure - the "medium stuff" - design and location of development - and the "small stuff" affecting mainly small sites and individual households. It offers an invaluable overview of the many components needed to create a successful town.

Valuable reading for anyone with an interest in planning, from students learning about the subject for the first time to graduates considering a career in planning, local councillors on planning committees and community boards.
