Planning through conflict: competing approaches in the preparation of Sheffield's post-war reconstruction plan

Planning Perspectives, 2013, vol. 28, issue 1, 27-49

Abstract: This article describes the breakdown in relations between local-authority Technical Officers working on Sheffield's reconstruction scheme in 1943. As a consequence of the dispute, an approach that prioritized spatial experience was dropped in favour of an engineering-based approach, in which spatial qualities were disregarded. Factors that led to this outcome include Government sanctioned design guidance on traffic engineering and zoning, and the type of education planners received. The dispute is indicative of wider trends in urban planning in Britain during this period.
