This book examines town and country planning policy in
twentieth-century Britain as an important aspect of state activity.
Tracing the origins of planning ideals and practice, Gordon Cherry
charts the adoption by state, both at the central and local level,
of measures to control and regulate features of Britain's urban and
rural environments.
The author examines 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 shows, 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 highlights developments in planning policy over subsequent
decades. The final part of the book focuses on the breakdown of
consensus from the mid-1970s and how the new market orthodoxy has
affected planning policy in the 1980s and 1990s.
