Planning history and everyday urban change: an appreciation of J.W.R. Whitehand (1938–2021)

Peter J. Larkham

Planning Perspectives, 2022, vol. 37, issue 1, 205-209

Abstract: Jeremy Whitehand died suddenly in June 2021 just short of his 83rd birthday. He was a world-leading figure in urban morphology and his disciplinary home was urban geography, but he was a founder-member of the Planning History Group (forerunner of IPHS). This appreciation explores his work and the centrality of a planning history perspective in his approach to studying urban form. In retirement he was making headway in introducing this research-based, historically-informed perspective into planning and urban decision-making through UNESCO, in the UK, in Romania and especially in China.
