Urban Planning Subject Headings
The most thorough way to search for material is by subject.
Below is a very brief list of subject headings to get you started, but there are many more.
- City Planning
- Regional Planning
- Town Planning
- Urban Design
- Urban Policy
- Housing
- Land use
You should be aware that different countries use different subject headings for the same content. Thus what is "Urban Planning" in Australia may be "City Planning" in American resources and "Town Planning" in UK resources.
Consulting a specialist thesaurus is a good way to collect relevant subject headings and to gain an understanding of the way subjects and terms are related. The Art and Architecture Thesaurus Browser developed by the Getty Vocabulary Program is very comprehensive.
