Planners internationally have employed green belts to contain the
explosive sprawl of cities as varied as Tokyo, Vienna and Melbourne
during the twentieth century. As yet, no collection has gathered
these experiences together to consider their contribution to
planning. Juxtaposing examples of green belt implementation
worldwide, this book adds to understanding of how green belts can
be effected in theory and how practitioners have adapted them in
practice. The book provides a typology of green belt implementation
and reform, enabling planners to grasp why these policies are
employed and whether they are relevant to twenty-first century
planning.
The evolution of city planning theory and practice in the first
half of the twentieth century was captured and driven by a range of
exhibitionary practices in a variety of settings globally, from
international expos to local public halls. The agendas of the
promoters varied, but exhibitions generally drew their social
legitimacy from their status as 'appropriate educative agencies of
citizenship'. Bringing together a range of international case
studies, this volume explores the highly visual genre of public
planning exhibitions worldwide. In doing so, it provides a unique
lens on the development of modern urban planning and design from
the late 19th century to the present day. Focussing mainly on the
first half of the 20th century, it looks in particular at historic
exhibitions which sought to transform urban society's understanding
of the possibilities of planning as a force for social betterment.
The visuality of presentation, contemporary reactions, and outcomes
for the planning profession and the community are explored to make
for a unique, innovative and attractive approach to the history of
planning ideas. The five major themes are the visual representation
of ideas and ideologies; institutions and individuals involved; the
broader context of display; and the impacts and implications for
the development planning culture. With contributors including Karl
Fischer, John Gold, Carola Hein, Peter Larkham, Javier Monclus, and
Mark Tewdwr-Jones, the dominant intellectual paradigm further
unifying the collection is planning history.
In an era of rapid urbanization, peri-urban areas are emerging as
the fastest-growing regions in many countries. Generally considered
as the space extending one hundred kilometres from the city fringe,
peri-urban areas are contested and subject to a wide range of uses
such as residential development, productive farming, water
catchments, forestry, mineral and stone extraction and tourism and
recreation. Whilst the peri-urban space is valued for offering a
unique ambiance and lifestyle, it is often highly vulnerable to
bushfire and loss of biodiversity and vegetation along with threats
to farming and food security in highly productive areas. Drawing
together leading researchers and practitioners, this volume
provides an interdisciplinary contribution to our knowledge and
understanding of how peri-urban areas are being shaped in Australia
through a focus on four overarching themes: Peri-urban
Conceptualizations; Governance and Planning; Land Use and Food
Production; and Solutions and Representations. Whilst the case
studies focus on Australia, they advance a variety of tools useful
in discerning processes and impacts of peri-urban change globally.
Furthermore, the findings are instructive of the issues and
tensions commonly encountered in rapidly urbanizing peri-urban
areas throughout the world, from landscape valuation and
biosecurity concerns to functional adaptation and social change.

This book traces how naturalism-the idea of a common theory uniting
natural social systems-has contributed to major shifts in urban
planning. Beginning in the 17th century, when the human body began
to emerge as an inspiration for urban planning, the book examines
the work of medical analyses of city life. Responding to the 19th
century industrial revolution and 20th century modernism, the
Second World War and mass motorisation, Dr Marco Amati shows how
vitalism, eugenics, evolutionary theories and medical treatments
were applied to understand cities and propose new urban forms.
While critically evaluating the uses of naturalism, Amati also
observes a renewed interest in the application of sciences to
analyse city life, arguing that this is essential to help resolve
challenges of human-induced climate change.
