When I was the first year postgraduate student in Bartlett School of Planning, UCL,University of London, this book was like a compass to explore the world of urban planning. The lecture by Peter was not easy, but something complicated. Because this book was highly recommended as an introductory book by UCL, I could overcome my lack of knowlege on Western planning context. If you need to understand the general and historical context of urban and regional planning in developed countries, this book is the best to satisfy your requirement.
