Urban and Regional Planning / Edition 6

by Peter Hall, Mark Tewdwr-Jones

Overview

This is the sixth edition of the classic text for students of geography and urban and regional planning. It gives an historical overview of the changes in cities and regions and in the development of the theory and practice of planning throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

The extensively revised edition now incorporates new material on European issues, as well as updated country-specific sections and the impact of recession. Specific references are made to the most important British developments in recent times, including new towns, neo-liberalism, the devolution to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and to cities and combined authorities, the role of infrastructure and high-speed rail, the impact of austerity, neighbourhood planning, Brexit and the continual story of the north-south divide. A chapter on United States planning discusses the continuing trends of urban dispersal and social polarisation, the treatment of climate change, the rise of edge cities and the decline of rustbelt cities, as well as initiatives in new urbanism, land use planning and transportation policies. Finally, the book looks to discuss the main issues that are likely to impact on future forms of planning in the 2020s, including digitisation, automation, sustainability and social polarisation.

Urban and Regional Planning will be invaluable to undergraduate as well as postgraduate Planning students. It will prove useful in a variety of built environment areas such as Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban Design, Real Estate, where planning is taught.

Editorial Reviews

"No text in the field of urban and regional planning better explains how we arrived at where we are."— Professor Michael Hebbert, University of Manchester, UK.

"Hall and Tewdwr-Jones’s fifth edition of Urban and Regional Planning is of great interest to students and scholars of planning throughout the developed world. It places current planning issues within a sophisticated historical context, provides thoughtful commentary on the US and European experiences, and examines the planning process in relation to politics and spatial transformations. It deserves to be on every planner’s bookshelf."— Professor Susan S. Fainstein, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USA.

"The book provides a strong picture of the historical roots to the current urban form and planning practices especially in Britain, and helps respond to the need for general texts on planning theory and practice." — Michelle C. Kondo, Journal of Planning Education and Research

"This is the fifth edition of the classic text for students of urban and regional planning. It gives an historical overview of the developments and changes in the theory and practice of planning, throughout the entire twentieth century. This extensively revised edition follows the successful format of previous editions, it introduces the establishment of planning as part of the public health reforms of the late nineteenth century and goes on to look at the insights of the great figures who influenced the early planning movement, leading up to the creation of the post-war planning machine."— Lonaard, Issue 13, Volume 3, January 2013

[T]he book offers a concise, updated and rigorous perspective of the history of urban and regional planning, from the late nineteenth century up to the end of the first decade of the twentieth-first century, which will certainly prove useful for all those that work in the field of e-planning, as the previous editions of the book did for past generations of planning students and scholars. – Carlos Nunes Silva, International Journal of E-Planning Research
