This is the fourth edition of this text for students of urban and regional planning. It gives a historical overview of the developments and changes in the theory and practice of planning, throughout the entire 20th century. This extensively revised edition follows the successful format of previous editions. It introduces the establishment of planning as part of the public health reforms of the late 19th century and goes on to look at the insights of the great figures who influenced the early planning movement, leading up to the creation of the post-war planning machine. National and regional planning, and planning for cities and city regions, in the UK, from 1945 - 2000, is then considered. Specific reference is made to the most important recent British developments including the Single Regeneration Budget, English Partnerships, the devolution of Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland, the establishment of the Mayor of London and the dominant urban sustainability paradigm.
