Geddes

Japanese: ゲッデス
Geddes
1854‐1932
Scottish urban planner and social economist. One of the founders of modern urban theory. Born in Ballater, Aberdeenshire. After studying biology under TH Huxley, he initially taught botany and sociology at universities in England and India. Around 1878-79, he became acquainted with French economist PGF Le Play, and developed a new theory of urban planning that incorporated Darwin's theory of evolution, ecology, geography, and other theories into Le Play's socioeconomics. He considered planning to be a branch of social science that sought to clarify the organic relationships between cities, countryside (farming villages), and industrial areas within a regional framework, and advocated and implemented scientific, comprehensive regional surveys and their analysis prior to planning.
