Drawing out similarities in the colonial administrative and economic strategies of the two powers, rather than emphasizing the differences, the book offers an unusually nuanced view of African planning systems in a time of upheaval and political change. In showing how the colonial authorities sought to gain political and social control in Africa, it can be seen how their will to exert political power influenced every area of planning practice during this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unique comparative analysis of British and French colonial town planning - covering the entire sub-Saharan African region - takes theories from a wide range of disciplines, including political science, history, urban and regional planning, economics and geography to paint a comprehensive picture of the subject. Written by a prolific researcher and writer in the political-economy of urban and regional planning in Africa, \u003cem\u003ePlanning Power\u003c\/em\u003e is valuable reading for students and academics in a range of disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ambe Njoh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844721604\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844721603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e UCL Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Ambe Njoh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065848705279,"sku":"9781844721603","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_476cc9f7-55b1-469d-9138-3587408fae8f.jpg?v=1768677647","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/planning-power-ambe-njoh-9781844721603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
