Book Description:
|
This book sets out how planning is a key colonial project both in its intent and its content, in that it is used to appropriate territory for management by the state and then to produce an ordered, coherent system of land regulation and control. In doing so, it demonstrates how planning was central to the colonial invasion of settler states, but also how it endures as a colonial practice in complex post-colonial settings.
