AbstractBeginning in Britain during the Second World War and continuing internationally through the 1970s Jaqueline Tyrwhitt (1905–83)—a British planner, editor and educator—played a key role not only in stimulating interest in Patrick Geddes’ planning ideas for post World War Two reconstruction, but also in formulating the Geddessian branch of the planning arm of the postwar modern movement. The range of Tyrwhitt’s contributions must be placed in the context of her efforts to reactivate transnational exchanges of planning ideas and practices that had been interrupted by the war. Tyrwhitt’s work at various educational institutions in Britain and North America, as a member of the inner circle of CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne), as a consultant to the United Nations, and in collaboration with Greek planner Constantinos Doxiadis (1913–75) in the Ekistics movement, positioned her to insert her synthesis of Geddessian bioregionalism and modernist social-aesthetic ideals firmly within the emergent global discourse on sustainable urbanism.
