Planning is undergoing a period of profound change and risks losing
meaning and authority by becoming merely a tool for financial
speculation and generating capital. Planning and Citizenship seeks
to rediscover planning's technical and theoretical roots by
reconstructing the memory of planning through the lens of the
changing relationship between planning and citizenship. Tracing the
historical relationship between planning and citizenship through a
single thread, Luigi Mazza employs three ancient models - those of
Hippodamus, Romulus, and Ancient China - to understand the
foundations of spatial governance and citizenship. Paying
particular attention to classic case studies of American cities,
this book moves through the development of central planning
theories by key thinkers like Geddes, Cerda, Howard, Abercrombie
and Lefebre. Analysing the role of government in promoting social
citizenship and symbolic values through planning, Mazza takes into
account the changing role of government in planning, including
concepts of neoliberalism and the minimal State. Providing critical
debate over the current role of spatial governance in planning and
citizenship, Planning and Citizenship offers a unique historical
analysis of a crucial topic in planning.
