Encounters in Planning Thought: 16 Autobiographical Essays from Key Thinkers in Spatial Planning

Encounters in Planning Thought creates an informed future perspective on the spatial planning field by looking at it through the eyes of those who have been at the coal face of planning's scholarly institutionalisation. The book provides a topical insight into why and how 16 distinguished planners, as they matured and built their planning ideas over the last half-century, have done what and when. It brings together contributions from leading planning scholars from Europe, America, and beyond. Through these intellectual autobiographical essays, readers gain new insights into classic planning thoughts, on which the education of thousands of contemporary spatial planning scholars, students and practitioners is and was based. There is no other publication that comes close to including such a wide array of personal information from quintessential voices in spatial planning.
