Language: English Series: Town & Country Planning ; 74(715) July/August 2005, 230-234(5)Publication details: 2005Subject(s): Summary: Explains the use of a new framework using key aspects of Patrick Geddes' problem-solving methods to evaluate post-war land use planning. Patrick Geddes is considered one of the founders of planning and his work remains compatible with contemporary public policy. Two key aspects of Geddes' problem-solving methods are especially relevant: the cyclical model of problem identification, solution, implementation, monitoring and review and back to problem reformulation; and a generalist and pragmatic approach which accepts that although evaluation cannot be precise it is necessary in order for planning to learn from its successes and failures.
