For a MSc Course in Spatial Planning ('Reflections on planning and design practices') I am renewing the book list - with more contemporary, more diverse and more inclusive literature. What are according to you the key readings in our discipline?
Students will write a 'position statement' after reading a book from the list. So, based on the contents of this book, how would they position this book within the wider discipline, and how would they position themselves - in relation to the book, and the planning profession/science?
Therefore, I am specifically looking for books that are single (or duo) authored - not edited volumes; with a theoretical fundament. But most of all, I am looking forward to hearing from you: what book did change your perspective on planning?
Spatial planning books necessary for MSc students are those related to the project research in addition to languages beside mother language

Spatial planning to be successful, requires considerable attention to the human factor. Thus three books immediately come to mind 'The Silent Language' and 'The Hidden Dimension', both by E. T. Hall; and for something more contemporary, Nonverbal Communication in Human Interaction' by Knapp & Hall.
