Description
Urban and Regional Planning by Peter Hall and Mark Tewdwr-Jones is a comprehensive guide to the history and development of planning theory and practice. This sixth edition has been extensively revised to incorporate new material on European issues, updated country-specific sections, and the impact of recession. The book provides an in-depth analysis of key developments in British planning, including new towns, neo-liberalism, devolution, and the role of infrastructure and high-speed rail. It also explores trends in US planning, such as urban dispersal, social polarisation, and initiatives in new urbanism and land use planning. This book is essential reading for students of geography and urban and regional planning, as well as professionals working in related fields. Its coverage of the main issues shaping future forms of planning makes it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the complexities of urban and regional development.
