The Political Culture of Planning provides the definitive guide to land use planning for both students and professionals. J. Barry Cullingworth provides a comprehensive and accessible account of land use planning in the United States, with a unique comparative analysis of the planning process in Britain and Canada.
Cullingworth has written extensively on planning and has worked, lived and studied in each of the countries discussed. In The Political Culture of Planning, he sets land use planning into its cultural context and examines the latest legal and policy developments. The book synthesizes a large body of information to provide an in-depth survey of a complex field that is often difficult to define.
Cullingworth presents the main issues of land use planning in the United States--zoning, the primacy of local government, the constitutional framework, and the role of the courts. He explores the perennial issues of discrimination, financing of theinfrastructure for new development, the process of negotiating zoning matters, and two issues of increasing significance--aesthetics and historic preservation. A series of broad-ranging essays examine land use planning in the United States, its institutional and cultural framework, and the reasons for its definitive character.
Despite its achievements, the American system of land use planning has failed to serve fundamental public policy objectives. The Political Culture of Planning examines the main issue facing land use planning today--how to channel the forces of development into spatial forms which are held to be socially desirable. Drawing on his considerable experience in both Britain and Canada, Cullingworth explores the limited possibilities for the future of land use reform in the United States.

The Political Culture of Planning: American Land Use Planning in Comparative Perspective (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780415088121) Cullingworth, J. Barry Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Taylor Francis Ltd, United Kingdom, 1993. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 246 x 189 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The Political Culture of Planning is written for two quite distinct readerships. The main body of the book synthesizes a mass of information to provide an overview of a complex and amorphous field. This material is designed to meet the needs of students who require a succinct account of the American system of land use planning. These readers can ignore the notes. For those who are embarking upon a much wider and deeper study of land use planning in the US the notes are crucial: they provide the guideposts to an immensely rich literature. The first four parts of the text present the main issues of land use planning in the US. Part 1 assesses the US zoning system. The introductory chapter discusses the meaning of zoning (and its difference from planning), the primacy of local governments, the constitutional framework and the role of the courts. Chapter two provides the historical background to zoning and an outline of the classic Euclid case. Chapter three discusses the objectives and nature of zoning and the use which local governments have made of its inherently inflexible character.Chapter four acts as a corrective to this view, describing how lawyers and planners have shown remarkable ingenuity in adapting zoning to the demands of a changing society. Part 2 deals with the perennial issues of discrimination, financing infrastructure for new development and the process for negotiating zoning matters. Part 3 presents a discussion of two overlapping issues of increasing significance - aesthetics and historic preservation. Part 4 focusses on the main issue facing land use planners: attempting to channel the forces of development into spatial forms held to be socially desirable. Part 5 consists of a series of broad-ranging essays which discuss land use planning in the US, its institutional and cultural framework and the reasons for its particular character. Part 6 discusses the limited possibilities for land use reform in the US - drawing on the author's considerable experience in both Britain and Canada - in order to interpret the limitations and potentialities of land use planning in the US.
