PETER SELF
" No other writer on planning problems in this country has matched Lewis Mumford's capacity to see them clearly and see them whole, and to expound them to the layman briefly and intelligibly without distortion. No other critique of planning policies and practice, save The Culture of Cities, has been at once so comprehensive and so penetrating, so sane and so caustic. Like Mumford, Mr. Self in his approach to the planning process is free alike from professional involvement and the inhibitions of office . . . An illuminating analysis." MANCHESTER GUARDIAN Leader.
