Opis

Much of the theoretical literature in planning and human geography is materialist in perspective. The alternative humanist position also cannot serve the practical requirements of urban analysis. First published in 1984, this book synthesizes these two inconsistent theoretical positions, aiming to render the obscure debate between them accessible.
