Town versus country in the 1940s: Planning the contested space of a city region in the aftermath of the Second World War
Article Abstract:
The emergence of a new concept of regional planning during the inter-war years reflected attempts to determine the most appropriate spatial scale for the organization of planning in light of the rapid socio-economic and environmental change. Planners in early twentieth century argued that compact regions that contained both urban and rural elements would be more conductive to the achievement of effective planning for population decentralization, industrialization, transport development and the protection of countryside (Abercrombie 1959).
