- Summary:
- "The Urban and Regional Planning Reader draws together the very best of classic and contemporary writings to illuminate the planning of cities and metropolitan areas. Forty-five generous selections include contributions from Mumford, Jacobs, McHarg, Davidoff, and Harr through to Fainstein, Healey, Hoch and Beatley. The reader lays out the context, range of concerns, history, methods, and key topics for 21st century planning. With a focus on the distribution of space and the distribution of place, the reader contains essays on housing, transportation design, environment, community development, the effects of cultural diversity and information technology on land use, and other topics.
