Following on from Peter Hall's earlier "London 2001", a work of the 1960s, this new book attempts to do for London of the late 1980s what its predecessor did for London of the early '60s. In this book Hall presents a survey of the major planning problems of this, the most prosperous area of Britain, concluding with an imaginative vision of what the region, with proper strategic guidance, could become by 2001. Hall argues that regional planning will rise again; that the problems of the '60s have never gone away; and every day they loom larger. The book should interest geographers, planners and policy-makers; and all concerned with London's future.

<p>In this "pathology of planning," Peter Hall briskly recounts the histories of five great planning disasters and two near-disasters and analyzes the decisions of the professional bureaucrats, community activists, and politicians involved in the planning process. He draws on an eclectic body of theory from political science, economics, ethics, and long-range future forecasting to suggest ways to forestall such grand mistakes in the future. For this edition, Hall has added a special introduction in which he reflects further on the sequels to these cautionary tales and on the moral planners and citizens should draw from them.</p>
