This book draws together the very best of classic and contemporary writings to illuminate the planning of cities and metropolitan areas. The Reader lays out the context, range of concerns, history, methods and key topics for twenty-first century urban and regional planning.

"Educators unfamiliar with Routledge’s Urban Reader series will find The Urban and Regional Planning Reader to be a refreshing collection for introductory planning classesBirch’s reader goes beyond the typical compilation of articles organized by topic and introduced by short prefaces to become a truly artful anthology of seminal and forward-looking writings about urban and regional planning." Journal of the American Planning Association, March 2010

"[Birch] should be commended for navigating such a broad field to assemble this generally representative survey."—Michael R. Glass, Urban Studies Program, University of Pittsuburgh, in The Pennsylvania Geographer 48, 1
