Summary:

"Must the poor always lose? Must we live with tower blocks of flats, urban motorways, comprehensive demolition of city centres, local authority housing estates with no social facilities? The rapid growth of cities, and of technical changes, make it ever more difficult for the individual to decide and to influence the kind of city, neighbourhood and even house he wishes to live in. Here the planning of housing, work, movement and the face of the city are considered, and ways suggested of finding an approach that avoids the sacrifice of human values and social satisfactions to 'economic efficiency'. The emphasis throughout is on social enquiry to discover the right aims for plans and planners, and on the involvement of local people in the control of their living and working environments."--Jacket.
