Urban and Regional Planning, Fourth Edition Urban and Regional Planning This is the fourth edition of the classic text for students of urban and regional planning. It gives a historical overview of the developments and changes in the theory and prac- tice of planning in the United Kingdom, throughout the entire twentieth century. This 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 postwar planning machine. ● National and regional planning, and planning for cities and city regions, in the UK from 1945 to 2000, is then considered. Specific reference is made to the most impor- tant British developments in recent times, including the Single Regeneration Budget, English Partnerships, the devolution of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the establishment of the Mayor of London and the dominant urban sustainability paradigm. ● ‘Planning in Western Europe since 1945’ now incorporates new material on EU- wide issues, as well as updated country-specific sections. ● ‘Planning in the United States since 1945’ now discusses the continuing trends of urban dispersal and social polarization, as well as initiatives in land-use planning and transportation policies. ● Finally, the book looks at the nature of the planning process at the end of the twen- tieth century, reflecting briefly on shifts in planning paradigms since the 1960s and going on to discuss the main issues of the 1990s, including sustainability and social exclusion and looking forward to the twenty-first century. Sir Peter Hall is Bartlett Professor of Planning at University College London and Director of the Institute of Community Studies. He is the author of over thirty books on urban development and planning and was a member of the Deputy Prime Minister’s Urban Task Force.

It is not a textbook of plan- ning; there are excellent examples of those now available, including especially Barry Cullingworth’s classic Town and Country Planning in Britain (13th edition, with Vincent Nadin; Routledge, 2001). Rather, it is an introduction to planning, written both for the beginning student and for the general reader. I hope that it will be found useful by students of applied geography and of town and country planning; by university and college students concerned to fit modern planning into its historical context; and by a wider audience which may want to know how planning has evolved. Two points must be made about the treatment. First, it is deliberately historical; it traces the evolution of urban and regional problems, and of planning philosophies, tech- niques and legislation, from the Industrial Revolution to the present day. Second, it is necessarily written from a British standpoint for a British readership (though I hope that readers from other Commonwealth countries will find it relevant). Throughout most of the book the exclusive emphasis is on the British experience, though the survey of early planning thought in Chapter 2 is international, and Chapters 7 and 8 deliberately range out to compare the experience of other advanced industrial countries. Even in those chapters the comparison deliberately excludes the developing world; doubtless, another useful book is to be written there, but there is no space in this book to do the subject justice. The book is a by-product of thirty years of lectures on introductory applied geogra- phy and planning at the London School of Economics, the University of Reading, the University of California at Berkeley, and latterly at University College London. I am grateful to successive waves of students who endured these courses and who unfailingly, by their reactions, indicated the places where material was boring or unintelligible. More particularly, I remain indebted to two academic colleagues and friends, both sadly now deceased: to Brian McLoughlin for his characteristically generous and thoughtful comments on a first draft; and to Marion Clawson for bringing his immense experience to bear on the account in Chapter 8. I must add the usual disclaimer: that I am solely responsible for errors and omissions. To two devoted helpers – my secretaries, Monika Wheeler and Rosa Husain, who typed two successive versions of the manuscript meticulously despite unnaturally heavy departmental burdens, and my cartographer, Kathleen King – I offer my best thanks. (I must also reflect, in this fourth edition, that the personal computer is relieving them and their successors from further such burdens.) Lastly, I rededicate this book to my wife Magda for her imperturbable patience in the face of gross provocation. I hope that she will find the result some small recompense for many delayed dinners and obsessed weekends.

Planners of all kinds think that they know what it means; it refers to the work they do. The difficulty is that they do all sorts of different things, and so they mean different things by the word; planning seems to be all things to all people. We need to start by defining what exactly we are discussing. The reference in the dictionary gives one clue to the confusion. Whether you go to the Oxford English Dictionary or the American Webster’s, there you find that the noun ‘plan’ and the verb ‘to plan’ have several distinct meanings. In particular, the noun can either mean ‘a physical representation of something’ – as for instance a drawing or a map; or it can mean ‘a method for doing something’; or ‘an orderly arrangement of parts of an objective’. The first meaning, in particular, is quite different from the others: when we talk about a street ‘plan’ of London or New York, we mean something quite different from when we talk about our ‘plan’ to visit London or New York next year.

As Minister for Veterans I believe that we should continue to remember the bravery of our Armed Forces during the Second World War; without their efforts and sacrifices, our lives today would be very different. These booklets will commemorate various Second World War actions, and aim not only to remember and commemorate those who fought and died, but also to inform future generations of the sacrifices made by those who fought. The inspiration that can be derived from their stories will be invaluable for their future. I want to help those growing up now to be aware of the veterans’ sacrifices, and of the important contributions they made to our security and to the way of life we enjoy today.

The Committee thus formed, commenced its work in December 2001 and has held 16 meetings, during which it examined evidence from radiobiology and epidemiology. In June 2003, the Committee prepared a Preliminary Report that was considered by a Workshop of invited delegates in Oxford in July 2003. This final Report has been published and sent to the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment (COMARE) for its consideration. It is expected that COMARE will wish to inform Ministers of its views on the Report.
