Urbanization and Counter-Urbanization
The nineteen contributors to this volume include some of the world's leading urbanists and planners. They agree that urban planners now, more than ever before, are able to manipulate the environment and develop well-designed cities and rural areas. 'A book which raises so many questions in the reader's mind is certainly a good contribution toward a greater understanding of the urbanization process and, hopefully, toward the formulation of an urban theory. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in the current trends or the future of urban development.' -- Journal of the American Institute of Planners, January 1978
