Book excerpt: This is Volume XIX in a series of twenty-two on Race, Class and Social Structure. Originally published in 1952. In November 1946, the British Government founded the New Town of Stevenage, thirty miles north of London, as part of a long-term programme to move over a million people from the metropolis. This book tells the story of this New Town: the history of the decentralization policy, of the existing town of old Stevenage, and of the first four years of the new development; the sociology of the New Town plan and of the strong local opposition which aroused nation-wide interest and led to a court case that almost stopped the project; the nature of the Development Corporation established to plan and build the New Town and the difficulties experienced in its relations with other Government departments and the Stevenage District Council. The book is, therefore, an historical and sociological study of a pioneering Government venture and of its impact upon a small town. It represents the results of interviewing, observation, and documentary research conducted over an eighteen-month period from October 1948.

Book excerpt: A study of particular aspects of the politics of planning a new town, this book, originally published in 1980, covers events from the inception of Stevenage in 1946 up to 1978. As a case study, the focus is on two expansion schemes, which were intended to extend the designated area of the town, and on the public protest that the two schemes engendered. Emphasis is placed on the structure and action of three groups of people: the ‘urban managers’ – the Stevenage Development Corporation; Stevenage industrialists; and local organisations engaged in protest. The theoretical focus is on the thesis of ‘urban managerialism’: the book examines the constraints placed upon both the structure and action of the Stevenage urban managers over the previous thirty years. In showing how matters work in practice, it directs light on issues of theory which other sociologists of planning, such as Pickvance and Castells, had only discussed in the abstract. The author argues that the experience of Stevenage illustrates a case of urban policy (particularly in housing and employment) being determined by the interests of industry alone, while at the same time pointing to the interrelationship of Stevenage industry and the town’s Development Corporation. He examines the membership, strategies and aims of the various protest groups involved over the years, and casts considerable doubt on the notion that the groups were ‘for democracy’ and ‘against bureaucracy’. Finally, he concludes, controversially, that in Stevenage’s case, public participation and protest were basically irrelevant to the decision-making processes.
