Description

One of the most striking consequences of post-war urban growth is a growing awareness of the need to regulate urbanization at the national level. This study is a comparative review of recent national urban policy experience in four countries: Britain, Sweden, Australia and Canada. The theoretical background to the four case studies is the concept of an intergrated system of cities: a system which encompasses all of a nations`s territory, and is increasingly the dominant influence in shaping national pattens of economic and social development. Students of urban and regional geography; urban planners.
