Wikipedia:

Sir Patrick Geddes (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“.^[3]

An energetic Francophile,^[4] Geddes was the founder in 1890 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.
