Abstract

Your decision to reprint Leslie Martin's 1972 paper ‘The Grid as Generator’ (arq 4/4) was apposite. It provided intellectual reconciliation between two schools of planning theory: the art of civic design and the science of empirical analysis of the use of land. After more than two decades out of favour (during which systems theory and an interest in the process of planning rather than its product were the vogue) both schools of planning are again in the ascendancy.
