- Abstract : From internet: This book reveals the complex interplay of planning ideas and practices between local, national, and international levels throughout this century. How they diffused and were selectively adopted and adapted at each level, creating an international body of knowledge and expertise.The book moves from German 'zoning', the aesthetics of grand urban and landscape design from France and the USA, and the utopian English idea of the 'garden city' through to the dynamism of the Asian tiger cities and the environmental ideology of the late 20th century. It creates an international body of knowledge and expertise.
