Urban Planning in the New South

Abstract

Historiography of urban planning in the South has been hindered by the erroneous assumption that the region did not take the city development process seriously until the post-World War II period. Recent additions to the urban literature of the New South suggest, however, that its planning legacy can be traced back to the early I 900s and that it was a tremendously fertile groundfor prominent national planning consultants. Although distinctive regional traits influenced the planning style in southern cities, New South urban planning conformed to the mainstream of the emerging profession. In many respects, particularly over the past three decades, the South has been an innovator in planning, although planning history literature has yet to address carefully many of these emerging trends.
