Using case studies from the UK and Europe, Chris Couch examines the
nature and achievements of the expanded towns programmes that
emerged in the mid-20th century to accommodate population growth
and overspill from densely populated urban areas. Thought-provoking
insights into lessons to be learnt are provided, alongside
arguments for further planned expansion of smaller towns today.
This timely book investigates how development pressures caused by
rapidly growing populations, have led to some disregard for health
and housing standards, and how a fresh look at the relationship
between urban form and public health is necessary, particularly in
the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. The author raises the
importance of strong planning and public land acquisition,
concluding with a strong case for a new programme of planned
expansion in smaller towns. Written in an accessible style, this
book is an excellent resource for students and researchers in urban
planning, geography and history as well as housing policy, estate
management and the built environment. Practitioners and policy
makers within town planning and urban development would also find
this an invaluable read.
