Planned Urban Development

Learning from Town Expansion Schemes in the UK and Europe
Elgar Studies in Planning Theory, Policy and Practice
Using case studies from the UK and Europe, Chris Couch examines the nature and achievements of the expanded towns programmes that emerged in the mid-20th century to accommodate population growth and overspill from densely populated urban areas. Thought-provoking insights into lessons to be learnt are provided, alongside arguments for further planned expansion of smaller towns today.
