Author: For the SCOTTISH DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT by UNIVERSITY of GLASGOW (DJ ROBERTSON, ed) - Vol I; MATTHEW Robert and JOHNSON-MARSHALL Percy - Vol II
Title: The Lothians Regional Survey and Plan: Vol I - Economic and Social Aspects; Vol II - Physical Planning Aspects
Description: Edinburgh, HMSO 1966 xvi, 289pp (vol I); xxii, 360pp, fold-out master plan map (vol II) with many tables and diagrams throughout both volumes. 30x22, grey cloth, illustrated dw (two uniform volumes) Chip from dw on spine of volume 1, both dws slightly sunned, very good thus. This plan for the sub-region around Livingstone new town took an innovative approach: taking advantage of the different strengths of the universities at Glasgow and Edinburgh, each volume was commissioned from a different research team. The challenges of the approach can be seen in the way in which the different studies in volume 1 seem to have been written in isolation and only brought together in the editor's concluding chapter, but nonetheless this marks a new way of doing plans, and was repeated with greater success by the same team two years later in the plan for Falkirk/Grangemouth.
