Description
The value of planning has evolved over time, and this guide explores the changing rationales behind it. It examines whether we have too much, too little, or just the wrong kind of planning.
Why Plan? Theory for Practitioners offers a thought-provoking analysis of the role of planning in society. The authors discuss how different approaches to planning can shape our cities and communities, and what this means for urban development and public policy.
This book is an essential resource for anyone working in or interested in architecture, landscape, urban planning, politics, or public policy.
