Patrick Geddes and Town Planning : A Critical View, Paperback / softback Book

Patrick Geddes and Town Planning : A Critical View Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Patrick Geddes is considered a forefather of the modern urban planning movement.

This book studies the various, and even opposing ways, in which Geddes has been interpreted up to this day, providing a new reading of his life, writing and plans.

Geddes' scrutiny is presented as a case study for Town Planning as a whole.

Tying together for the first time key concepts in cultural geography and colonial urbanism, the book proposes a more vigorous historiography, exposing hidden narratives and past agendas still dominating the disciplinary discourse.

Written by a cultural geographer and a town planner, this book offers a rounded, full-length analysis of Geddes' vision and its material manifestation, functioning also as a much needed critical tool to evaluate Modern Town Planning as an academic and practical discipline.

The book also includes a long overdue model of his urban theory.
