| Description | Radburn's history is closely tied to the evolution of the planning movement in the United States. As a continuous element in planning theory, Radburn's story can be used as a case study to trace the development of the profession focusing on its changing aims, its propagation, and its reception in American society. The Radburn plan was of critical importance to the restructured movement. For lay citizens, it provided a well-publicized and comprehensible image of planning. For government officials, enough of Radburn was built to show how it worked and what elements were successful. The original group of Radburn designers, the members of the Regional Planning Association of America, developed the plan as a team, each contributing his individual skills and seeking additional advice when needed. Their product, a comprehensive, rational, technical plan, demonstrated the benefits of the prototype city planning process. Book Name: Introduction to Planning History in the United States |
