• W594491736 abstract "Last year Sir Colin Buchanan was invited to give the Chichele Lectures at Oxford, and chose as his subject a review of planning progress in Britain since 1947, together with some thoughts about the future. The State of Britain contains the three lectures, unaltered. They comprise a memorable personal view of what has been done, of failures and successes, and of what we ought to try to do in future. They are also a valuable summary in about 26 000 words of the main events in the first quarter-century of planning. The first lecture describes the present planning machinery and how it evolved ; the second describes the bigger happenings of those 25 years, good and bad; and the third lecture sums up, and tries to look a little into the future, or at least pick out what will be most important. All three lectures, as one would expect, prove that it is possible to write lucidly and pleasantly of planning matters without using vogue-words or professional jargon. Nothing is structured, and there are no interfaces or feed-backs. Sir Colin is a man of his age, in both senses. To him planning is guiding the use and change of land and all developments: forestry, farming, landscape, buildings, roads and the rest. The test of planning is whether physical surroundings are, or appear to be, convenient to live in, provide a good range of choice, and are good good to look at. In this he is surely right. There are a host of social and economic aims at national, regional and local levels, and the achievement of many, indeed most, of these needs either conservation or changes in land use or development or redevelopment. The job of the planner is to prepare programmes for these changes, by stages, and in step with financial resources, and then to guide their execution. The real test of planning is the worthwhileness of things actually done (and sometimes not done) to our physical environment. For those who have lived through it all, and sometimes feel that we are now getting nowhere, The State of Britain is a cheering reminder of how much good has been done: the National Parks, New Towns, motorways that are well landscaped and devoid of advertisements, many fine schools and much of the housing, and much cleaner air. Perhaps most important of all, a landowner cannot claim compensation if his application to develop his land is refused. To possess this the greatest planning power seems now to younger planners as natural as the growth of grass in the park. In fact, it is a planning power that took 20 years of struggle and spoliation of land before being granted. We have to thank Clough Williams Ellis and Thomas Sharp and other pioneers, the brave resolutions of" @default.
