Sir Patrick GeddesFRSE (2 October 1854 – 17 April 1932) was a Scottish biologist,[2] sociologist, Comtean positivist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner. He is known for his innovative thinking in the fields of urban planning and sociology. His works contain one the earliest examples of the 'think globally, act locally' concept in social science.[3]
Following the philosophies of Auguste Comte and Frederic LePlay, he introduced the concept of "region" to architecture and planning and coined the term "conurbation".[4][5][6][7] Later, he elaborated "neotechnics" as the way of remaking a world apart from over-commercialization and money dominance.[8]
An energetic Francophile,[9] Geddes was the founder in 1924 of the Collège des Écossais (Scots College), an international teaching establishment in Montpellier, France, and in the 1920s he bought the Château d'Assas to set up a centre for urban studies.
