HighlightsGeddes had a uniquely broad interdisciplinary style of scholarship.He contributed to applied planning practice, both in education, scholarship and civics, and in pioneering city plans.Many of his priorities contradicted conventional wisdoms and encouraged opposition to mainstream planning.
AbstractPatrick Geddes made substantial contributions to applied planning practice by promoting academic, professional and public awareness of urbanism, regionalism and civics. He contributed to university and adult education, and through his publications, summer schools, exhibitions and museum projects he reached a much broader public, not just in Britain but also in other parts of Western Europe, North America, the Eastern Mediterranean, and South Asia. He pushed forward a series of institutional projects, and as a planning consultant he wrote numerous reports and several significant city plans, most notably in India and Palestine between 1914 and 1924.
