Böcker av Ian Morley

This book illuminates the implications of the USA¿s final phase of colonial rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the years immediately prior to self-rule.

Places the design of Philippine cities within a framework of America's distinct religious and racial identity, colonial politics, and local cultural expansion. In doing so, the book expands knowledge about city planning - its influence and role - within national development by providing valuable insights into the nature of Philippine society.
