1: The Best Planning Act in the World
Reyner Banham in conversation with Lord Holford, Arthur Ling Baroness Sharp and Peter Shepheard
Theo Crosby 's recent exhibition The Environment Game has not been the only voice suggesting that many of our urban ills are due to the misuse of our planning law. Yet for a quarter of a century, since the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947. British planning law and practice have been the envy of the world. In the first of two programmes Reyner Banham examines the origins, intentions and the driving vision of post-war planning legislation.
