"This book challenges the wisdom of over-designing landscapes, arguing that the fringe is an integral and inevitable part of the urban system and a product of largely organic processes. It investigates the way in which landscapes are made through urban containment, alongside the departure from a purely land-use planning model, and the future role of spatial planning at the edge. Planning on the Edge will be of interest not only to students of various disciplines, including geography and planning, and researchers, but also to policy makers and planning practitioners."--BOOK JACKET.
