Book excerpt: Benton MacKaye (1879-1975) is widely recognized as the creator of the Appalachian Trail, but scholars rarely acknowledge him for his contributions to environmental thought and planning. In this dissertation, I interpret and analyze MacKaye’s regional planning philosophy and trace the main influences on MacKaye’s work. In particular, I show how MacKaye’s environmental thought in part responded to the challenge of William James’s 1910 essay, “Moral Equivalent of War.” In the essay, James argued for pursuing peaceful alternatives to war while retaining the values of dedication, hard work, and discipline that are central to military training. Although evident in a number of MacKaye’s projects and publications, the connection between his work and James’s argument is clearest in an unpublished essay associated with his 1928 full-length work entitled The New Exploration: A Philosophy of Regional Planning. First, I review the content and impact of William James’s “Moral Equivalent of War” while visiting the responses of many notable individuals as well as MacKaye’s brothers, Percy and James. Next, I situate MacKaye in the trajectory of environmental history, from Thoreau to Aldo Leopold, who later collaborated with MacKaye. I also explain the work of Lewis Mumford and the Regional Planning Association of America to illustrate how MacKaye was directly involved with the regional planning movement of the 1920s. I argue that these individuals also influenced MacKaye’s proposition for a moral equivalent of war: fighting industrialism to protect the material, energy, and psychological resources found in the natural environment. Thirdly, I argue that James’s essay influenced MacKaye by conducting a close reading of an unfinished and unpublished essay. I then show how the unpublished essay relates to The New Exploration. Finally, I argue that MacKaye implemented his response to “Moral Equivalent of War” in his environmental and regional planning projects in which he was involved throughout his life, such as the United States Forest Service, Tennessee Valley Authority, Regional Planning Association of America, and the Wilderness Society. Additionally, MacKaye worked as a consultant to Dartmouth College Professor Eugene Rosenstock-Huessy and the experimental Civilian Conservation Corps Camp William James, where the primary focus was to fulfill James’s call to provide young men, and later women, with a moral equivalent to war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well known for his column in The New Yorker, Lewis Mumford is widely regarded as the foremost urban critic of this century. Through historical and theoretical perspectives, author Mark Luccarelli traces the development of Mumford's thought on regional planning focusing on his pioneering concept of an ecologically-based region and shows how he attempted to turn his ideas into reality through the Regional Planning Association of America (RPAA). This informative book also demonstrates how Mumford's ideas remain extraordinarily relevant and valuable to today's urban problems.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an examination of two conflicting regional planning ideologies and the impact of this conflict on the development of two regional parkways. I hypothesize that regional parkways of the 1920s and 1930s emerged out of these two visions of regional planning - regionalism and metropolitanism. The regional view coalesced around the work of Benton MacKaye, Lewis Mumford, and the Regional Planning Association of America. The metropolitan viewpoint, while less definable, grew out of the market-oriented economic boosterism efforts associated with early twentieth century planning. This view found literal and philosophical support with Thomas Adams and the Regional Plan of New York and Its Environs. In an effort to flesh out the competing theories and the development of the regional parkway, I discuss the history of the Skyline Drive and the proposed Green Mountain Parkway. In addition to supplementing the planning history and theory literature, I try to inform on issues important to the contemporary planning profession. The regional visionaries viewed their regional work as a social reform effort. The metropolitanists wanted to tweak the market so as to provide for a minimized congestion and economic hardship for the greatest number of citizens. This "vision versus reality" still troubles the profession today, especially in the areas of sustainable development, growth management, and "smart growth.

Book excerpt: Based on cases and interviews in Britain, Europe and the United States, this book explains the recurrence of regional planning and of initiatives in regional governance, in a wide range of advanced industrial countries. Providing an analysis of the nature of regional planning and governance, the book traces the development of regional planning and the institutions associated with it. It also looks at the way that regions have been changing their form under pressure from economic and political developments and examines how regional planning and governance has responded, comparing experience in the UK, the rest of Europe and the US. In concluding that regionalism is an imperative feature of politics in most countries, associated with almost any of the variety of forms of governance, the author offers a major appraisal of the significance of regional planning in an intemational context

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ian McHarg and the Search for Ideal Order looks at the well-known and studied landscape architect, Ian McHarg, in a new light. The author explores McHarg’s formative years, and investigates how his ideas developed in both their complexity and scale. As a precursor to McHarg’s approach in his influential book Design with Nature, this book offers new interpretations into his search for environmental order and outlines how his struggle to understand humanity’s relationship to the environment in an era of rapid social and technological change reflects an ongoing challenge that landscape design has yet to fully resolve. This book will be of great interest to academics and researchers in landscape architectural history.
