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.Geddes' 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":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930864255264,"sku":"NEW0415578671","price":79.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/patrick-geddes-and-town-planning-a-critical-view-0415578671","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
