landscape elements from far to near. Certainly, this may be a harsh suggestion when there is no rich source at hand to support the description of a general structured landscape. Notwithstanding the lack of overall structural analysis of Dongchuan’s urban landscape, the book highlights important aspects of Dongchuan’s historical experience. These include the landscape construction strategies of the Qing state’s civil elites and the wisdom of the indigenous inhabitants and immigrants who dealt with the new living environment. The latter constructed landscape by employing geographical resources to maintain and express the local groups’ identity, status, and adherence to local traditions. In a nutshell, the reshaping of the urban landscape presented in this book is not simply a rough transformation of the original landscape by the elite groups representing the imperial power, but a field of dependence, negotiations, and compromise among different groups, which makes up a part of the continuous civilizing process in the context of local natural geographical features. The author shows that during this process, also apparently innocent sites, such as buildings, roadways, fields, mountains, waters, and scenic spots, interacted with the imagination, memories, and daily lives of those who lived between them, shaping different cultural traditions and identities and thus a unique and multi-layered border landscape.

2023 marks the 100-year anniversary of the first meeting of the Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA) on 18 April 1923 in architect Robert D. Kohn’s office in the Manhattan 1913 Goupil Building on 56–58 West 45th Street in New York City. At the urging of Charles H. Whitaker, then editor of the Journal of the American Institute of Architects, the informal group came together to promote social values with territorial decentralization and balance. They chose to drop the additional items of ‘housing’ and ‘garden cities’ from the association title to emphasize the territorial scope and ambition of Benton MacKaye’s Appalachian Trail proposal, which he had been developing since 1921. Over the next ten years, RPAA projects included a range of scales, from geographic projects such as MacKaye’s Appalachian Trail, to the residential designs for Radburn, New Jersey and Sunnyside Gardens in Queens, New York. After its demise in 1933, some members went on to work on New Deal projects and legislation, such as the Tennessee Valley Authority (which celebrates its ninetieth anniversary this year) and Catherine Bauer’s authorship of the Housing Act of 1937. This special issue of Planning Perspectives is an opportunity to consider and discuss the RPAA legacy 100 years later. Not all RPAAmembers were present at the April 18 meeting, so Lewis Mumford instead marked the association’s origins at a meeting the following month –May 19 – at the Hudson Guild Farm in New Jersey. Mumford recalled that a group of folk square dancers were at the farm that day and admonished the RPAA city newcomers for trying to participate in the dance without knowing its rules and manners. Mumford enjoyed the scolding, and the association would then try to incorporate square dancing into its future meetings as a way to connect with U.S. folk culture. Mumford was drawn to imagined folk rurality at the outer edge of the metropolis, where the group hoped to find refuge from the teeming immigrant New York of the 1920s. It was an act of ventriloquy, in the spirit of the regionalist local colour literature of the period, where ‘a modern urban outsider... projects onto the native a pristine, authentic space immune to historical changes shaping their own lives;’ the projected indigenous connection to region itself a product for those metropolitan planners and administrators who would receive the new planning perspective. In her book on new towns of the period, Rosemary Wakeman describes this as ‘practicing utopia’, which also applies to the work of the RPAA. The affinities between the U.S. planning regionalists and the literary regionalists are surely testament to their shared futurist imaginary interests imbued with a nineteenth century folk nostalgia.

ABSTRACT To address the relative modernity and contemporaneity of the legacy of the Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA). its position between 1923 and 1933 is compared to ideas of regional planning over the past 100 years. In this regard members of the RPAA, such as Mumford, Stein, Wright and MacKay, were initially strongly influenced by Geddes's idea of a geomorphology of human spatial systems, which also influenced the New Deal Era. While the utopianism of the RPAA's thinking diminished over time, its practical idealism persisted. To paraphrase Friedmann and Weaver, in the fluctuations between ‘functionality' and ‘territorial integration' that occurred in regional planning, the RPAA's concern for humankind and nature has persisted into today's Anthropocene Era. In short, while the RPAA's legacy’s subsequent influence over regional planning has varied, its relevance to functional integration has been longer lasting than its adherence to territorial integration.

ABSTRACT The Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA) comprised a core group of experts on urbanism, design, economics, housing, and planning throughout its ten years of advocacy and implementation from 1923 to 1933. A lesser-known subsequent organization, the Regional Development Council of America (RDCA), was founded twenty-five years later in 1948 in recognition of the 50th anniversary of Howard’s To-morrow. Primed for a postwar development surge, the RDCA’s ambitious agenda ranged from federal planning to urban renewal to community building for ‘productive defense’. This study applies a comparative analysis of archival materials, including review of efforts to sustain the RPAA mission during the bridging period when neither organization was active. While the RDCA only functioned for four years, the core membership consistently advocated for the regional city as the solution to a wide range of postwar challenges at the federal, state, and local levels. In doing so, their strategies addressed the increased professionalization and institutionalization of planning. At the same time, their sustained focus on communitarian regionalism diverged from the growing emphasis on economic development through expansionism that came to dominate the field.
