Principles of Planology Grondslagen der planologie
Between the World Wars, the talent of Dutch town planner J. M. de Casseres
(1902--1990) found expression in two visionary books and a clutch of influential articles.
ln an in-depth article published in February I 929 in the magazine
under the
title 'Grondslagen der planologie' ('Principles of planology') he invented a term for the
De Gids
new social-scientific discipline that would eventually enter the Dutch language.
De Casseres made it his life's work to elevate the art and craft of town planning to
academic status, classifying the international planning body of knowledge and making it
accessible and applicable. The results of this internationally supported body of knowl
edge are reflected not only
in
De Casseres' publications but also
in
a string of urban
design proposals for towns across
the
Netherlands.
This re-publication of the
De Gids
article, alongside five ocher influential De Casseres
articles in translation and their original Durch language form, brings this key thinker
within reach of a wider research audience.
