Property, Politics and Urban Planning - History of Australian City Planning, 1880-1990

Informationen zum Autor Leonie Sandercock Zusammenfassung This book written before the cusp of a waning left-liberal approach to planning issues and a just blossoming neo-Marxist paradigm, reflects the ambivalence of its era. Developments in social and political theory have generated new ways of understanding the role of urban planning in capitalist societies and the emergence of feminist historical frameworks have led Sandercock to reconsider her gender-neutral approach to planning history.
