Charles Bungay Fawcett
Charles Bungay Fawcett (25 August 1883 – 21 September 1952)[1] was a British geographer, regarded as "one of the founders of modern British academic geography" and an early promoter of the idea of regional planning.[2]
He was born into a farming family in
Leeds University. In 1928, he was appointed Professor of Geography at University College London, where he remained until his retirement in 1949.[3]
Provinces of England

development planning system that was applied in England in the second half of the twentieth century, and initiatives towards regional government in England.[2][3]
In 1960 William Gordon East and Sidney William Wooldridge edited a posthumous edition of the essay as a book with updated statistics from the 1951 census.[4]
