The legacy of planning ideas developed in the hundred years before the First World War

  1. Critically review the legacy of planning ideas developed in the hundred years before the First World War on planning practice in the hundred years after the First World War.
  2. Examine the extent to which new planning theories have emerged and replaced the previous dominant theories since the start of the twentieth century.
  3. Campbell and Fainstein (2003, p.3) argue that a defining framework in planning theory is the duality between planning and the market. Illustrate and assess how 'public interest' has been defined and delivered through each of the main paradigms of planning theory since the 1940s.
