Description
Using a neo-Marxian, urban political economy perspective, this book examines the absence of urban planning in nineteenth-century England. In its analysis of urbanization in England, the book considers the influences of landed property owners, inheritance laws, local government structures, fiscal crises of the local and central state, shifts in voter sentiments, fluctuating economic conditions, and class-based pressure group activity.
