First published in 1988; this book argues that discussions of urban development often neglect to consider that much of the urban environment is designed by architects and planners; and that the particular world-view of architects and planners is crucial for the way proposals are taken up; modified and carried out. The author explores the world-view of architects and planners; considering their approach to design and the factors which influence this mdash; work patterns; career paths and the firms in which they operate. The author also studies their place in the political decision-making process as it affects urban questions and then explores how architects and planners roles are changing.
