Routledge National Planning in United States - Annotated Bibliography

This comprehensive annotated bibliography contains more than 2,000 entries documenting the national planning idea as a substantive issue in U.S. public policy, with material current through 1977. The work presents a bibliographic structure that reveals new emphases, relationships, and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding American planning thought and practice. It draws primarily from four core disciplines-public administration, political science, economics, and sociology-whilst incorporating perspectives from eleven additional planning-related fields. By synthesising this extensive literature, the bibliography makes the vast volume of planning scholarship more readily accessible to students, researchers, and policy professionals seeking to understand the historical development and contemporary relevance of national planning concepts in the United States.
