Abstract

The author sees recent ecological T&C Planning thinking to have veered in the main in favour of
rehabilitation and compacting high-rise-ism as against dispersion and low density projects. Having
taken a fresh look at proto-ecological thought from the mid-nineteenth century through to the
‘fi fties of the next, the paper examines the writings of writers of an anarcho-geographical tendency
attitude towards regionalism and landscape architecture only to discover that beneath a general
haze of decentralization before all things, the majority were in favour of a urban dispersion of
concentrated centres supported by public transport link-ups and even single family suburban
housing. The author concludes that if the work of these authors can be said to be of any usefulness,
it is in that of serving towards a refocusing of the dispersal-compacting issue beyond its usually
simplistic universe of references.
