Reviews for The Routledge Handbook of Planning History
An ambitious and masterly synthesis of planning history worldwide. The Routledge Handbook of Planning History explores the state of the discipline, its theories, methods, achievements and challenges. The range and erudition of analysis by leading scholars in the field makes this a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of cities. This is destined to become a classic. Rosemary Wakeman, Fordham University, USA Unprecedentedly global in scope, this ambitious handbook interweaves the fullest-ever account of the historiography and current state of the field. Even more usefully, by helping to hone critical questions, it is an inspiration to those who will craft the planning history of the future. Lawrence J. Vale, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Past President, Society for American City and Regional Planning History
