From the dawn of human history, man has deliberately planned our physical environment. In this book, emphasis has been put on explanations of what has been done within town planning, to solve the various problems which have been presented to town planners by the different types of societies that have been tried in man’s social evolution. The difference in this book is its strong focus on the historical use of town planning by those in power to preserve their positions,(often at the expense of the larger society), and so, should contribute to a better understanding of town planning and its contribution to the development of society and philosophy.
