Summary:

In this book, published after the end of the Second World War, Gutkin proposes a new philosophical approach to current redevelopment planning. He reviews how settlements in different countries have developed in the past, and puts forward the view that completely new approaches to urban develoment need to be developed in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and to avoid the dangers of economic and technological progress without a corresponding social advance.
