ABSTRACT In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first meeting of the Regional Planning Association of America in New York City, there is also the chance to recognize concurrent interwar regionalisms from other parts of the United States. Howard W. Odum led the Southern regionalism initiative with colleagues from his Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina. The South served as their laboratory, where resource development proposals became the model for national regional planning practice and beyond. Southern regionalists understood the regional scale entirely through the cultural lens of the social sciences to abstract, describe, and project it. The South’s secessionist past informed their cultural/territorial proposals for folk regional planning, which later functionalist modelling elided. As these histories reach their centenaries, the article considers Southern regionalism more fully in relation to the broader social science and regional planning thought of the interwar period.

ABSTRACT In the nineteenth century, the impact of railways on urbanization was significant, despite initial predictions that its role would be limited to transportation. The presence of a railway station had impacted the urban fabric of Lahore during the colonial rule. It was the first purpose-built building by the British and it started the new era of urban expansion. Eventually, railway development turned out to be the fourth major settlement of Lahore. The objective of this paper is to highlight the contribution of railways in shaping the form and growth of Lahore. The methodology employed for this study consisted of collecting both primary and secondary data, followed by a comparative analysis of the urban context of pre-colonial Lahore and its development post the introduction of railways in the city.

ABSTRACT The Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA) was formed in 1923 to promote urban development based on the English Garden City ideal linked to the regionalism of Patrick Geddes. But Lewis Mumford, the RPAA’s principal spokesperson, incorporated his version of Geddes’ ideas in the RPAA’s agenda. Arguably the RPAA/Mumford’s vision of garden cities as a remedy for the problems of the sprawling metropolis incorrectly became identified with Geddes. This essay presents a more nuanced perspective by examining the RPAA and efforts to relaunch it, starting in the late 1930s, through the lens of Jaqueline Tyrwhitt, who was largely responsible for the revival of interest in Geddes’s ideas after World War Two. The paper traces the development of Tyrwhitt’s ideas as she introduces Geddes in his own words to a new generation, thus dispelling previous misconceptions, and formed an influential synthesis of Geddes’ bioregionalism and modernist urbanism that framed debates on post-war reconstruction. She put forward the urban constellation – a further development of Geddes’ concept of the conurbation – explicitly as an alternative to the relaunched RPAA’s call for decentralization, now as strategy for civil defense.

ABSTRACT One of the most interesting urbanistic ensembles of the twentieth century in Spain is the towns planned and built near the large dams to provide services for their construction and operation. In the Province of Badajoz four very large dams were built by the central administration, which also promoted the construction of workers’ towns in the surrounding area. These towns are unique components of the rural Extremadura landscape. Without them, the dams could not have been built in the Spain of Franco’s dictatorship, and they are a testimony to action carried out in the territory, how work was organized and how the integrating relationship of buildings and nature was understood as a particular conception of the landscape. This article first reviews the historical context, both from the point of view of planned urbanization concerning company towns and the Badajoz Plan itself. The villages are describe based on field visits and documents found in the AGA archives in Alcala de Henares and the offices of the Guadiana Water Board in Mérida; lastly, the data are analysed, and some conclusions are arrived at.

ABSTRACT Oscar Oeser was a polymath import to the Antipodes, primarily known as a social psychologist and as the founding Professor of Psychology at the University of Melbourne. But he was also a very effective network builder, and an important conduit for overseas ideas – not least with respect to urban and rural planning. With interest in urban planning surging in the immediate post-Second World War period, Oeser undertook a joint project with the Head of Architecture at Melbourne, Brian Lewis, along with a number of other notable figures. The project involved surveying and re-imagining the down-at-heel suburb of Prahran. It was ambitious in its empirical scope, and it showcased Oeser's sensitivity to the ‘human elements’ in planning that prefigured current participatory models. Nonetheless, the Prahran project's impact was muted and ambiguous, its data selectively co-opted by local politicians and public servants to serve a pragmatic modernist agenda. Oeser's subsequent planning work featured innovative approaches to designing remote rural communities and indigenous housing. Oeser's overall legacy in planning was thus a historically contingent one: it tells us something about what might have been as much as what was.

land and its conversion into a dynamic and thriving new core for London. Importantly, landscape transformation is seen as the key to project justification. So, why the difference in tone as well as content? Part of the reason stems from narrative. The Olympics, and most things connected with them, are habitually enmeshed in powerful narratives, with proponents and critics of the Games trading diametrically opposed views legitimized by contrasting metanarratives of historical meaning and current worth. However, an additional factor in the case of London 2012 are the starting points taken for analysis. Judgments about legacy made when the starting point is 1980 might well be different than when analysis begins with the bid promises of the early twenty-first century. Relatively few academic researchers would have been personally familiar with the lower Lea Valley before the clearance and soil cleansing programme started; an element that perhaps underpins a current tendency to downplay the extent of the area’s blighted industrial past. By contrast, many of the planning practitioners had witnessed the profound dereliction that characterized the area in the late twentieth century and took it as part of their moral imperative for working to bring about change. The state of the landscape, the blocked watercourses, and the environmental contamination were essential parts of the rationale for the legacy that was to be created. Yet in many ways, the divergences in these accounts essentially reflect the state of the art. The historiography of London 2012 as well as its legacy remain at a formative stage, with many different voices supporting and contesting prevailing interpretations. Excellent in their own ways and offering consistent and substantiated viewpoints, State of the Legacy and Play the Game provide useful contributions towards improving our understanding of the urban legacy of this landmark sporting and cultural festival. As such, they are steps on the road towards formulating the other, more subtly textured tales that are yet to be told.

ABSTRACT The replanning of London following the Second World War is, in many ways, a familiar story. However it has often been told in fragments, usually prioritizing the best-known plans and the involvement of Professor Patrick Abercrombie. This paper positions the replanning more widely, considering a hierarchy from region to specific locales, and the problems of fragmented planning within such a structure. It explores issues of agents, agency and authority. The sanitized and orderly vision of a new London is set against a more complex and disordered reality of reconstruction-plan production. The urgency, scale and complexity of the task, and questions of why should ‘author’ plans, are significant issues. The realities of postwar London have been shaped by a messy and misunderstood process.

city that also was the object of a project by architect and anthropologist Salima Naji. Also focusing on Tiznit, Noha Gamal Said proposes a ‘senso-social’ (209) analysis of both soundscapes and inhabitants’ practices. Situated between ethnography and urban studies, this approach allows the reader to both understand the nature of urban space and to reflect on methodology. Echoing such reflections, the chapter by Salima Naji deciphers the responsibility of architects and planners, in dialogue with authorities and inhabitants, to choose areas to be restored or transformed. She insists on the fragile memory of places and on the similarly fragile link between inhabitants’ practices and the urban form vis-à-vis potentially violent interventions. The last chapter by Irène Carpentier, David Goeury, and Zakaria Kadiri and the general conclusion, points to the fragility of collective memory in historical oases, to the importance of a study through the method and concept of urban ambiances and on the dangers these unique spaces are presently facing, including the emergence of entrepreneurial attitudes to urban renovation that tend to ignore the spirit of collective governance and the notion of common good: ‘Living together and doing together were articulated in a network of constant community engagements that were always collectively debated (...) The entanglement of the modalities of negotiation was progressively broken by the development of new categories of public action in the name of rationality and technical progress’ (340). Overall, this highly interesting book constitutes an important contribution not only to knowledge about these areas, but also to the methodological reflection of urban research in general.
