Pathways in American Planning History: a thematic chronology

http://www.planning.org/pathways/index.htm

Pathways in American Planning History was written by Albert Guttenberg. It was originally published in the Journal of Planning and Education Research and has been adapted and updated prior to publication on the web. The chronology provides a very comprehensive overview of American planning and the influences on planning.

The planning history is browsable either by period or by theme. The periods are divided into: 1785-1899, 1901-1919, 1920-1939, 1940-1959 and 1960-present. The thematic categories available for browsing are: landmark publications, planned communities, conservation and environment, history of the planning profession, housing, regional planning and landmark laws. The chronological history links into the thematic history and both provide links to details of people influential to American planning history. The site is set out in a logical way which makes it easy to browse. The site is in English.
