The author has observed the past equipped with knowledge and understanding of what regional planning was in the second half of the twentieth century and still is. He stands in the period of the first decades after the Second World War, which were the formative years of regional planning, and looks back at bygone ages. He discusses ideas and literature from the immediate post-war period in order to examine the ancestry of regional planning through their lens. The book will attract a broad range of readers because of its approach and its wide coverage of historical periods and world regions. Although Europe is the main focus, the book contains material on all continents and all periods, the ancient world, the medieval age and the modern era. The history of Urban Planning is taught and researched widely, but the history, or pre-history, before the twentieth century, of Regional Spatial Planning is not. This book will fill that vacuum. 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aCities and towns?History 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aUrban History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/727000 606 $aRegional Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913050 606 $aModern History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aCities and towns?History. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aUrban History. 615 24$aRegional Development. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a519.5 700 $aWassenhoven$b Louis C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937020 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337919003321 996 $aThe Ancestry of Regional Spatial Planning$92110389 997 $aUNINA
