{"product_id":"patrick-geddes-and-town-planning","title":"Patrick Geddes and Town Planning","description":"\u003cp\u003ePatrick 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeddes' 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589079589102,"sku":"9780415578660","price":321.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415578660.jpg?v=1721218150","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/patrick-geddes-and-town-planning","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
