Abstract

The history of such planning is here seen as the history of the idea of the city itself as much as that of the regulation of building the same in practice and how it has been transformed in keeping with changing theoretic postulations as to its nature and those means of intervention in the process available. Three principal ways of understanding the planning of the city are here seen to typify the subject during the historical changes proper to the period in question. From the primitive understanding of a General Planning in terms of lay out (regulation in terms of alternative two dimensional city model options), planning moved on a planning that embraced an overall projecting of the city's developing (this including functional, social and economic long term pre-empting) to then consider the overall plan as a project (architecture here blatant and unashamedly being its be-all and end-all). The paper calls for a cool and synthetic re-understanding of the question.
