Sir Patrick Geddes

    Patrick Geddes byl skotský biolog, sociolog a aktivista, který aplikoval Darwinovy myšlenky na lidské komunity a propagoval koncept sociálního rozvoje skrze kulturní evoluci. Byl klíčovou postavou v počátcích plánování měst, přičemž jeho přístup k obnově měst, nazvaný „konzervativní chirurgie“, zdůrazňoval význam místních průzkumů. Geddesova práce se zaměřovala na propojení vědy, kultury a urbanismu, aby zlepšil životní podmínky ve městech a podpořil obnovu komunit.
