Abstract

The built environment has proved a major obstacle to urban planning objectives (Woods, 1975). Urban development, not redevelopment, has provided the celebrated achievements of the urban planning movement; planners point to new towns in Europe and to Canberra in Australia to illustrate their visions for our cities.
