Historical course of spatial planning
The question of the starting points of planning theory takes us to the past. A common account of the origins of modern planning describes several separate movements at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, movements such as “garden cities”, “beautiful cities” and health care reforms. At the beginning of this period, participants are not yet recognized as planners (~ 1800-1910).
In the second phase of development, there is an institutionalization, professionalization and affirmation of planning and parallel development of spatial planning (~ 1910. – 1945.).
The third phase is characterized by standardizations, planning crises and a variety of planning methods as a result of complex social, technical and other factors in spatial planning - from design, through construction and administrative to political and social. At the end of the 19th century planning was a private profession comparable to medicine.
In the 20th century planning is evolving in response to the development of the 19th century industrial city. The way out of exhausting historicism is trying to be found by restructuring the history of planning in which both historical and contemporary are retold with a critical departure. In the 20th century planning is interpreted as a public bureaucratic profession.
