Description
Book SynopsisThis updated reprint of a classic text offers a revealing glimpse into the past and an insightful perspective on the present state of planning and development in Canada.
Trade ReviewThis book makes a timely contribution to current debates regarding the nature of the profession, the need to consider urban and rural issues together, the need to think holistically across departmental boundaries, and the need to creatively consider the future of rural areas in the face of a declining population base, crumbling infrastructure, and energy crisis. -- Frank Palermo, Professor in the Faculty of Architecture and Planning and Director of the Cities and Environment Unit, Dalhousie University
