Summary:

"This book looks at the problems of a city over the last 100 years and suggests a totally new planning strategy. The book examines the stages that have marked the increase in population and change in land use and analyses the master plans that have been used in the attempt to control these changes. Using Rome as a case study, the book deals with the soci-economic effects of an absence of planning strategy during the city's recent growth. The author presents the features of a new master plan strategy, based on theories he has developed over years of theoretical and practical work in planning. The final chapter gives a critical analysis of the last official master plan of Rome, which was approved in 2003."--BOOK JACKET.
