Much of the theoretical literature in planning and human geography
at present is materialist in perspective. This offers a powerful
critique but locates the dynamics of urban systems too specifically
in just one basic social relationship. It fails to provide an
intellectual base broad enough for constructive, detailed urban
analysis, partly because it fails to do justice to the reflective
awareness of the individual. The alternative humanist position
redresses the balance in favour of the individual but again cannot
serve the practical requirements of urban analysis since it so
often ignores social or contextual analysis. Ian Cullen synthesizes
these tow apparently inconsistent theoretical positions and to
render the increasingly obscure debate between them accessible.
