Hall and his colleagues observed that a major objective of the post-war planning system had been to restrict urban sprawl and development in the countryside and they found that this objective had been realised: hence the title of their work. However, they believed that their research showed that urban containment had been bought at a price. By restricting the supply of land available for urban development, British town planning had unwittingly contributed to the inflation of land and property prices.
Nevertheless, as will be pointed out later in this chapter and as Faludi has himself argued, post-war planning in Britain has been dominated by employment in local government. Though local government is not itself homogeneous, there has been enough commonality of experience, it is suggested, to allow typologies of dominant or favoured professional approaches to planning to be constructed. 1). Healey’s typology provides a chronological (and admittedly generalised) account both of the changing self-perceptions of some planners and of the debates among professionals and academics.
From this we can distil the following propositions or claims: K1 Town planning deals primarily with land. (K1 is the major premise) K2 Town planning is concerned with planning/ordering: 36 ‘Social’, not just ‘physical’? (a) land use and (b) the character of buildings and spaces (including communicative routes). (K2 is an elaboration of the major premise K1) K3 Town planning is not economic, social or political planning. (K3 appears as a logical consequence of K1 and K2 together) K4 Physical town planning can contribute to the achievement of economic, social and political goals.
