《种植与规划》探讨了英国如何利用城镇的形成作为殖民扩张和控制整个帝国的工具。从17世纪的阿尔斯特种植园开始，到二战后的非殖民化结束，罗伯特·霍姆揭示了大英帝国如何产生了世界上许多最大的城市，以及殖民政策和规划如何对这些城市的形式和功能产生了深远的影响。第二版保留了第一版的主题、时间顺序和跨学科方法，每一章都确定了殖民地城镇规划的一个关键要素。增加了新的材料和插图，结合了作者自第一版以来的进一步研究。最重要的是，《论种植与规划》仍然是唯一一本涵盖了整个英国殖民城市主义的书。
Of Planting and Planning explores how Britain used the formation of towns and cities as an instrument of colonial expansion and control throughout the Empire. Beginning with the seventeenth-century plantation of Ulster and ending with decolonization after the Second World War, Robert Home reveals how the British Empire gave rise to many of the biggest cities in the world and how colonial policy and planning had a profound impact on the form and functioning of those cities. This second edition retains the thematic, chronological and interdisciplinary approach of the first, each chapter identifying a key element of colonial town planning. New material and illustrations have been added, incorporating the author's further research since the first edition. Most importantly, Of Planting and Planning remains the only book to cover the whole sweep of British colonial urbanism.
