This work examines the actual effects of urban planning in a
comparative framework largely based on the UK and California. The
planning process has been under attack throughout Europe and North
America for a decade and more; this book takes the criticisms
seriously and looks closely at what has actually happened. Its
conclusions are critical and radical: that major changes are called
for, such as the abolition of "green belts", more permitted
development, and a greater concentration on environmental impacts.
Through a detailed analysis of studies of the effects of planning,
the book compares low levels of urban containment in California
with much higher levels in the UK; some comparative insights are
also drawn from the (pre-conflict) Yugoslavian planning system. The
analysis shows that many of the serious criticisms of planning are
valid and leads to the conclusion that some sacred cows - notably
"green belts" - should be abandoned. This book should be of
interest to students, researchers and professionals in planning,
geography and urban studies. It also provides authoritative
analysis and perspectives for a wider readership concerned with the
planning process and its effects, no
