History
(from Wikipedia entry)
Sir Patrick Geddes FRSE (2 October 1854 – 17 April 1932) was a Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner (see List of urban theorists). He is known for his innovative thinking in the fields of urban planning and sociology.
He introduced the concept of "region" to architecture and planning and coined the term "conurbation".
An energetic Francophile, Geddes was the founder of the Collège des Écossais (Scots College) an international teaching establishment in Montpellier, France.
His papers are held at the National Library of Scotland, the University of Strathclyde and others. For more information, see:http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/c/F46261
