Description

With the global expansion of urbanization there is a need to ensure that cities develop in a way that allows all residents to benefit from urban life. This volume contains a collection of classic and more recent papers that provide insight into the problems encountered in urbanization and the ways in which planning has evolved to meet the resultant challenges. It is broad in its coverage, and its content includes both theoretical and applied contributions as well as looking at urban planning issues in the developing as well as the developed world. Review ‘Urban planning is a diverse discipline with many faces. Some treat it as applied politics; an instrument to operationalize ideology. Others focus on form, method, technique and process, while others emphasize networks, the environment, economics and sustainability. But ultimately the urban planner is a doctor and the urban society, in all its dimensions, the patient. It is the planner’s task to keep the patient happy and healthy and to achieve this goal a balance needs to be struck between all of the aspects above. This volume is indicative of the multi-dimensionality of the profession. It contains some of the most outstanding and groundbreaking works that have been produced by some of the greatest thinkers in all the major fields of urban planning over the past half century.’ -- Hermanus S.
