After the Planners

paperback. Zustand: Good. After the Planners by Robert Goodman is a sharp, provocative critique of post-war urban planning and the technocratic mindset that shaped many mid-20th-century cities. Goodman argues that large-scale, top-down planningâ"driven by experts, bureaucracies, and corporate interestsâ"often ignores the needs of real communities, displaces the poor, and produces environments that are socially and emotionally damaging. Drawing on case studies from American cities, he calls for participatory, community-led approaches that prioritise human scale, local knowledge, and democratic control. Punchy, radical, and influential in its time, it remains a key text for readers interested in planning reform, urban activism, and the intellectual roots of community-based design.
