You should read this book with the book "Twentieth Century Architecture" and it will give you more clear impression.

A reference classic to approach with a critical eye the history of urban planning. Probably what Peter Hall is most recognized for...

4 out of 5 stars Good read and study of planning history!   August 18, 1999

My university is using this book as a text as part of our study of Planning History. It is a very good read and is unlike a textbook. Outlines planning history from 1880 to 1980.
