About the PHE series
In this series, Studies in History, Planning and the Environment, we intend to provide in-depth studies of some of the many aspects of the origins and history of the planning process and its effects on our environment.
So wrote Gordon Cherry and Anthony Sutcliffe in their 1980 foreword to the first three titles in the series they founded. Together they edited the series until Gordon’s death in 1996.
When Anthony Sutcliffe became sole editor and he was determined to broaden the scope of the series and to widen its appeal. To reflect the change in approach, the series was renamed Planning, History and Environment.
In 2001, Anthony Sutcliffe stepped down as editor. His place was taken by Dennis Hardy, assisted by Ann Rudkin and an international editorial board. Ten years later Dennis Hardy gave up the editorship and Ann Rudkin took over.
Today, there are some sixty books in the Planning, History and Environment series and many more in preparation.
