Item description from seller

DETAILS: sewn PAPERBACK, attractive copy, near fine. CHERRY, GORDON E. Town planning in Britain since 1900: the rise and fall of the planning ideal. Oxford ; Cambridge, Mass., USA: Blackwell Publishers, 1996, xi, 260pp., . Series: Making contemporary Britain "The author shows how town planning first took root as a professional activity and an academic discipline around the turn of the last century, largely as a reaction to the apparent problems of the late Victorian city. He explains, too, that this impetus for change coincided with a new perception amongst political thinkers of state planning as a legitimate and necessary function of Government's intervention in social and economic affairs. Town planning, as a state activity in land-use regulation, housing, industrial location, roads and transport, became an important beneficiary of these developments." - "The book explores changes in planning policy over subsequent decades. It highlights, for instance, the impact of World War II and the arrival of the corporate state as a 'Command Economy', and shows how town and country planning took its place in post-war reconstruction. The final part of the book focuses on the breakdown of consensus from the mid-1970s, with the assault on collectivism by the New Right, and asks to what extent the new market orthodoxy has affected planning policy in the 1980s and 1990s." - CONTENTS: 1.
