From small gardens to complete cities, humans have always moulded their environment to express or symbolize ideas - power, order, comfort, harmony, pleasure, mystery. Geoffrey and Susan Jellicoe link these ideas together and demonstrate that they are manifestations of a single process: humankind's instinct to shape its surroundings. The new final section of the book, edited and written by Tim Richardson, spans modernism to postmodernism to post-industrialism, as well as looking at large-scale urban planning in China and elsewhere, before ending with small-scale healing and community gardens.
