Britain's planning system began as 'town and country planning' to
repair the ravages of unplanned industrialism and promote ideal
environments for the future. Steering a course between left and
right, public control and for-profit development, it survived
successive booms and busts, broadening to include new concerns like
ecology, conservation and community participation. By the 1986,
when this book was first published, the system's survival beyond
the year 2000 was in doubt. It did endure, but it is now under
serious threat from the right, which sees it as obstructing
enterprise and the restoration of 'growth'. It has been stripped of
some of its core aims and mechanisms, while as yet there is no
agenda distinguishing growth that will be sustainable from growth
which self-evidently is not. The Government of Space was written as
a concise guide for the non-specialist to the origins and evolution
of British planning, its intellectual pedigree, achievements and
cruxes. It is an invaluable background to the state of planning and
the cases for and against it today.
