Though modern urban planning is only a century old, it appears to be facing extinction.
Historically, urban planning has been narrowly conceived, ignoring gaping inequalities of race,
class, and gender while promoting unbridled growth and environmental injustices. In
Transformative Planning, Tom Angotti argues that unless planning is radically transformed and
develops serious alternatives to neoliberal urbanism and disaster capitalism it will be
irrelevant in this century. This book emerges from decades of urban planners and activists
contesting inequalities of class, race, and gender in cities around the world.
