Synopsis

An examination of the history of town planning in the British Empire, from 1600. Of Planting and Planning looks at the transfer of British planning legislation to the colonies and the influence of this transfer on world urbanization and present urban management approaches. The rapid urban growth in many developing countries has focused attention on the regulatory tools available for planning control, many of which are closely modelled on the 1932 Town & Country Planning Act for England and Wales.
