Urban Planning Theory since 1945 by Nigel Taylor
This study describes the development of urban planning ideas since the end of World War II to the 1990s. It outlines the main theories of planning, from the traditional view of urban planning as an exercise in physical design, to more recent views of planning as a form of "communicative action".
