Planning Theory and Social Analysis Converge
The most exciting page in Blank_____: Archtecture, Apartheid, and After is its contents page. Rather than as a table listing, the author's names are presented on a graph of concepts related to post- apartheid planning issues in South Africa. The names float around areas of focus such as "fortification," "rural and urban weave," and "community building," all situated on a background of a number and letter grid such as the kind used to locate street names on a map. It is an inspirational presentation of the book's varied, complex, yet integrated essays. This modernness is entirely appropriate to the treatment of an area which lies at the forefront of the next generation's planning goals and obligations.
