and the Bush(1988, Australia), and Annette Kolodny’s The Lay of the Land(1975, United
States).
The theory connections (chapters 1 and 2) were driven at base by Ralph Barton Perry’s
Realms of Value(1954). Broad, general and informative, are the likes of John Rawls’s Theory
of Justice(1971), Foucault’s The Order of Things(1992); and a significant though uncon-
nected (as far as I know) trio: Barbara Ehrenreich’s Fear of Falling(1989), John Kenneth
Galbraith’sCulture of Contentment(1992), and Jane Jacobs’s Systems of Survival(1992). As
the notion of ‘planners for responsibility’ took shape, writings emerged which con-
nected planning with ethics. These included Peter Marcuse’s ‘Professional Ethics and
Beyond’ (1976), Elizabeth Howe’s ‘Normative Ethics in Planning’ (1990), Thomas and
Healey’sDilemmas of Planning Practice (1991), Jerome Kaufman’s ‘Reflections’ (1993),
Harper and Stein’s ‘Centrality of Normative Ethical Theory’ (1992), and Gerecke and Reid’s
‘Planning Power and Ethics’ (1991). The normative attachments to lineal planning theory
centre on John Friedmann’s Planning in the Public Domain(1987), George Chadwick’s
Systems View of Planning (1971), and Le Breton and Henning’s pragmatic Planning Theory
(1961). The radical less-lineal attachments include Breheny and Hooper’s Rationality in
Planning(1985), Tett and Wolfe’s ‘Discourse Analysis’ (1991), Hillier’s ‘To Boldly go where
no planners have ever.. .’ (1993), and Checkland’s ‘Soft Systems’ output (1987 and
thereafter).
The ‘Charter’ chapter 3 (with its Matrix) reflects personal empathy with the post-
Stockholm output of: Eckholm (1976), Goldsmith (1992), Goudie (2000), Illich (1979), Lovins
(1977), Meadows (1972), Odum (1976), O’Riordan (1976), Ponting (1991), Schumacher
(1974), Simmons (1974) and Strahler (1973).
The growth pattern management (regional) passage (chapter 4) addresses an avalanche
of writings, not all of them consistent one with another. Two significant ‘commissioned’
policy writings are: Frank So’s Practice of State and Regional Planning(1986), and John
DeGrove’s Land Growth and Politics(1984). On the practice side there are two ‘derived from
official policy’ pieces of note: Avron Bendavid-Val’s Regional and Local Economic Analysis for
Practitioners(1991), and John Levy’s Economic Development Programs for Cities, Counties
and Towns (1990). The ‘delivery’ section which address Regional Growth, Tourism
Development, and Unemployment Alleviation (among other topics), draws on five notable
writings: Jay Stein’s Growth Management(1993); John Urry’s Tourist Gaze(1990), Edward
Inskeep’s Tourism Planning (1990), the ILO compilation Employment Promotion at
Regional and Local Levels(1988), and the 1999 edition of Natural Capitalism(Paul Hawkin
with Amory and Hunter Lovins).
The lengthy urban chapter (5) addresses both the urban problematic and the practice of
urban reform. The relevant literature is a deluge. The selected listings are portrayed on two
fronts. First are identified those writings which best inform the urban condition. To start
with are five sentinel texts in the order in which I encountered them: Lewis Mumford’s The
City in History(1961), Jane Jacobs’s Death and Life of Great American Cities(1961) which led
me to visit Chicago and Boston, Kevin Lynch’s Image of the City(1960), and Spiro Kostof’s
City ShapedandCity Assembled(1991 and 1992). Packed in around these sentinels are
hundreds of urban New World writings from which a top-cut selection would include,
in alphabetical order: Alexander and others, A Pattern Language(1977), Barnett’s The
Fractured Metropolis (1995), Boyer’s Dreaming the Rational City(1983), Davis’s Quartz
City(1990), Etzioni’s Spirit of Community(1993), Friedmann’s ‘The Right to the City’
(1992), Garreau’s Edge City (1992), Hall’s Great Planning Disasters (1982), Jackson’s
Crabgrass Frontier(1985), Kunstler’s Geography of Nowhere(1993), Leopold’s Sand County
Almanack(1949), Rep’s Making of Urban America(1965), Sudjic’s 100 Mile City(1992), and
Soja’sPostmetropolis (2000).282 Bibliographical Retrospective
