Rome: A New Planning Strategy looks at the problems of a city over the last 100 years and suggests a totally new planning strategy. The book examines the stages that have marked the increase of population and change in land use and analyses the masterplans with which there has been an attempt to control this. Using Rome as a case study, the book deals with the socio-economic effect of an absence of planning strategy during the recent growth of the city. The author presents the characters and features of a new masterplan and practical work in planning.
