Abstract:
In 1904 and 1905 Patrick Geddes (1905, 1906) read his famed, but today little-read, two-part paper, ‘Civics: as Applied Sociology’, to the first meetings of the British Sociological Society. Geddes is often thought of as a ‘pioneer of sociology’ (Mairet, 1957;Meller, 1990) and for some (egDevine, 1999: 296) as ‘a seminal influence on sociology’. However, little of substance has been written to critically assess Geddes's intellectual legacy as a sociologist. His work is largely forgotten by sociologists in Britain (Abrams, 1968;Halliday, 1968;Evans, 1986). Few have been prepared to follow Geddes's ambition to bridge the chasm between nature and culture, environment and society, geography, biology and sociology. His conception of ‘sociology’, oriented towards social action from a standpoint explicitly informed by evolutionary theory. A re-appraisal of the contemporary relevance of Geddes's thinking on civics as applied sociology has to venture into the knotted problem of evolutionary sociology. It also requires giving some cogency to Geddes's often fragmentary and inconsistent mode of address. Although part of a post-positivist, ‘larger modernism’ Geddes remained mired in nineteenth century evolutionary thought and fought shy of dealing with larger issues of social class or the breakthrough work of early twentieth century sociology of Simmel, Weber and Durkheim. His apolitical notion of ‘civics’ limits its relevance to academic sociology today.

Abstract:
On the basis of a close reading of two early articles by Patrick Geddes, which form the basis of his later approach to sociology, it is argued that Geddes should be reclaimed by sociologists from the geographers and the town planners, as the founder of a distinctive environmental sociology in Britain at around the turn of the last century. Certain of Geddes’ arguments are seen to be comparable with those of Durkheim, in particular, and Marx to a somewhat lesser extent. Moreover, his work contains a distinctively sociological account of the ‘structuring’ of social (and environmental) reality via the creative agency of human beings actively working in a variety of environments. Geddes’ naïve optimism may make him as much Utopian as sociological, but does not invalidate his contribution to the development of a classical environmental sociology.

Abstract:
Among the founders of the science of town planning at the beginning of the twentieth century, Scotsman Patrick Geddes introduced methods of investigation commensurate with other sciences. A biologist, trained by Thomas Huxley, Geddes borrowed the practices of the microscopical laboratory in creating the Outlook Tower in Edinburgh, Scotland which served as a model for an approach to the study of cities. His method was like that of a field botanist studying a species, and assumed an interdependent relationship between place, work and folk. Embracing the evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin, Geddes proposed subtle town planning interventions as a means by which cities could adaptively respond to change over time. He advocated the employ of a graphic device, which he called his "thinking machines," and which served as a paradigmatic strategy to forge new relationships within sets of ideas. Such an approach aligned him with the taxonomic strategies in practice in the formation of museum collections and display of the nineteenth century. This work examines the archival evidence of the principles underlying Geddes' methods in the hope that they may be recovered in contemporary town planning.

Abstract:
The fin de siècle was a time of change in nationalism, culture, art, science and religion. Nations and groups grew into defining themselves through movements such as Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau. Some groups sought to define themselves through reviving aspects of their old cultures as inspiration. For instance, Finland found inspiration in the Kalavala and William Morris inspired Arts and Crafts through England’s Middle Ages. Scotland had many pasts to choose from for inspiration. Patrick Geddes found inspiration in its Celtic past. Geddes is best known for his work as a town planner and sociologist, but has been under-valued for his work as the leader of the 1890s cultural movement in Edinburgh, the Celtic Renascence. In an effort to revive the flagging Old Town, Geddes created a community in Ramsay Garden on the Castle Esplanade. Ramsay Garden became home to Summer Meetings, University Hall functions, and the Old Edinburgh School of Art, and out of all this emerged The Evergreen: A Northern Seasonal. The Evergreen served as a mouthpiece for the Celtic Renascence, a way for them to communicate the life of Ramsay Garden to those outside it. It was a journal which included art, literature and science, brought to the reader on a seasonal basis. Geddes’s view of Celticism was inclusive, he sought to include all peoples of Celtic nations (a view not all agreed with). But his Celtic Renascence was more than just a small art movement, it was part of his larger work to improve city life, to get people to broaden their perspectives and to generalise rather than specialise. Geddes used the Celtic Renascence, like any of his other projects, as a tool for positive and lasting change.

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1994.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 107-115).
Looking at the city of Dhaka, anyone in the first instance may feel he is perceiving a chaotic construct. But amazingly this city lives and sustains millions of people living in it. Chaos may be perceived in the very form of the city and in the way it functions. The situation of Dhaka today has grown into a very complex reality, but in the beginning of this century when the city was metamorphising to become what it happened to become today, an western town planner came to the city to give a masterplan to the city. It was almost like the ordaining of an order in the Indian tradition of founding of a city. Patrick Geddes the Scotish town planner came with a huge enthusiasm to work in India. On his eastern sojourn he came to Dhaka to produce a masterplan for the city. He perceived a regenerative organic dimension in the cities form and function, instead of chaos. His work here also raises questions as to how successful or appropriate it has been in the context of Dhaka. If he was an intruder or an interpreter in a context so opposite to his industrial background? This thesis will look into all these questions and postulate a position to interpret it based on the hypothesis presented by the proposal and the situation that exist today in the city.

Abstract:
Formé à la biologie évolutionniste, penseur généraliste, polygraphe et vulgarisateur, engagé dans les réseaux de la réforme urbaine, Patrick Geddes (né à Ballater (Ecosse) le 2 octobre 1854 - mort à Montpellier le 17 avril 1932) est principalement présenté dans l'historiographie comme un des pionniers de l'urbanisme et, en particulier, du Town planning movement britannique, au tournant du vingtième siècle. En remettant en question cette évidence, ce travail entend contribuer à la fois à l'histoire de l'un (sortant des cadrages trop serrés d'un regard strictement monographique) et à l'histoire de l'autre (situant l'analyse aux marges de cette "introuvable discipline" qu’est l'urbanisme). Les aspects à la fois biographiques, socio-historiques et historiographiques de la problématique sont successivement examinées autour d'un terrain précis : La Cities and town planning exhibition, exposition itinérante d'urbanisme dont Geddes est généralement crédité comme l'auteur. Montée à 13 reprises (au Royaume Uni, en Europe, en Inde) entre 1911 et 1924, cette exposition est une production éminemment collective impliquant certains acteurs majeurs du town planning (Raymond Unwin, Thomas Adams, John Burns, Ewart Culpin, etc. ) et révélant, du même coup, la situation, le rôle et le statut complexes de Patrick Geddes au sein de ces réseaux
Trained as an evolutionist biologist, Patrick Geddes (b. Ballater, Scotland, 2 October 1854 – d. Montpellier, France, 17 April 1932) was a generalist, polygraph and vulgarizer thinker. Involved in the urban reform networks, he is considered in history mainly as a pioneer of urbanism, and, particularly, of the British Town planning movement, at the turn of the twentieth century. Questioning this fact, this work intends to contribute both to Geddes's biography (avoiding a too narrow monographic approach) and to the history of town planning (analyzing the margins of this "untraceable discipline"). Biographical, socio-historical and historiographical aspects of the problem are examined around a precise terrain : the Cities and town planning exhibition, an itinerant exhibition of which Geddes is generally credited as the author. Held 13 times (in the United Kingdom, Europe, India) between 1911 and 1924, this exhibition was a collective production, involving major Town Planning actors (Raymond Unwin, Thomas Adams, John Burns, Ewart Culpin, etc. ), and revealing, at the same time, the complex situation, role and status of Patrick Geddes in these networks

Abstract:
L'historiographie de Tel Aviv met en avant l'aspect socialiste du projet sioniste. Il s'illustrerait dans l'éclat et la simplicité des immeubles de la ville dite blanche. Ce travail, en prenant également en compte le caractère nationaliste du mouvement qui conduisit à la création de l'Etat d'Israël, propose une mise en perspective. La première ville hébraïque du XXe siècle, fondée en Palestine en 1908, a-t-elle vraiment surgi des sables du nord de Jaffa ? Dans un consensus ? Les cartes et les archives portent un autre message. Tel Aviv n'est pas née du sable, elle est née d'un plan. Un dessein séparatiste justifié par une rhétorique d'occultation du paysage préexistant, commandé par l'équipe municipale en 1925. Mais cette part d'ombre s'accompagne d'une part de lumière car c'est à Patrick Geddes, urbaniste humaniste, que revient la paternité du dessin. La ville devint cié où, entre sionisme petit-bourgeois et modernisme socialiste, la nouvelle société des Juifs se forgea une identité
The historiography of Tel Aviv stresses the socialist facet of the Zionist project, exemplified by the sparkle and simplicity of the building of the "white" city. This dissertation, by also taking into acciunt the nationalistic nature of the movement that led to the founding of the State of Israel, suggests adjusting the perspective. Did the first Hebrew city of the 20th century, founded in Palesine in 1908, rise up out of the sands to the north of Jaffa ? Consensually ? The laps and the archives convey another message. Tel Aviv was not born from the sand, it was born out of a plan. A goal with separatist aims commissioned by the city officials in 1925 and justified by a rhetoric of eclipse of the existing landscape. However, this shadowy side is accompanied by a dazzling one since the author of the plan was Patrick Geddes, a humanist town-planner. Between petit bourgeois Zionism and socialist modernism, he turned Tel Aviv into a city where the new Jewish society was able to shape its identity

This paper analyzes the methods that contribute to the enhancement of cultural heritage in urban centers, both through a literature review of the principles of urbanism, as through examples in which cultural cores served to boost the urban recovery. The way these nuclei may contribute to urban development through its development and promotion, was tentatively applied to the village of Alcochete. The methods to implement this study were chosen after an analysis of several urban theories that showed us how cities evolved and have related their memories and their cultural identity. It was found that to achieve the success of cultural cores are useful multidisciplinary approaches around the cultural perspective within the urban core and to develop the interest of local communities in order to promote their use and disclosure. As study case we chose Alcochete and tried to create a new perspective of public use which gives a new and dynamic centrality to the village. The opportunities it offers in a tourism context were analyzed, from the knowledge and practice of their habits, customs, traditions and local products. It was identified as well, the need to introduce practical elements that preserve, enhance and publicize the qualities of a cultural center that leverages the urban, social, economic and tourism through the use of culture.

Abstract:
In contemporary society – according to Dennis Potter’s dictum – citizens have been transformed into consumers. The shift in social power behind this process is mirrored in the changing shape of the city. Tel Aviv, founded just eighty five years ago, is an extreme example of the interaction between urban conceptions and configurations and dominant social forces. By means of a schematic section through the history of the city, this paper attempts an assessment of the role of those forces and conceptions – or their absence – in determining the nature and scope of the present transformations of the urban fabric. Tel-Aviv is an assemblage of past and recent urban utopias, constrained by conditions, scaled-down and transformed, but still identifiable and influential. Partly “collision city” and partly “collage city” – in Colin Rowe’s terms – its growth, while chronologically continuous, resulted in a fragmented pattern; each district reflecting the urban ideals and historical conditions under which it came into being. Four determinant stages can be detected in the ascent of the city.
