Leading theorists and practitioners trace the evolution of key
ideas in urban and regional planning over the last hundred years
Over the past hundred years of urbanization and suburbanization,
four key themes have shaped urban and regional planning in both
theory and practice: livability, territoriality, governance, and
reflective professional practice. Planning Ideas That Matter charts
the trajectories of these powerful planning ideas in an
increasingly interconnected world. The contributors, leading
theorists and practitioners, discuss livability in terms of such
issues as urban density, land use, and the relationship between the
built environment and natural systems; examine levels of
territorial organization, drawing on literature on regionalism,
metropolitanism, and territorial competition; describe the ways
planning connects to policy making and implementation in a variety
of political contexts; and consider how planners conceive of their
work and learn from practice. Throughout, the emphasis is on how
individuals and institutions-including government, business,
professional organizations, and universities-have framed planning
problems and ideas. The focus is less on techniques and programs
than on the underlying concepts that have animated professional
discourse over the years. The book is recommended for classroom
use, as a reference for scholars and practitioners, and as a
history of planning for those interested in the development of the
field.
