Insurgencies: Essays in Planning Theory

Covering transactive planning, radical planning, the concept of the "good city", civil society, rethinking poverty, and the diversity of planning cultures, this collection of Friedmann's most important and influential essays tells a coherent and compelling story about how the evolution of thinking about planning over several decades has helped to shape its practice.

With each of the chapters introduced by a brief essay providing background information about its origins and the author's intentions, and followed by a series of study questions to help focus classroom discussions, as well as by a small number of suggested readings, Insurgencies: Essays in Planning Theory is an ideal text for the study of planning theory and history.
