Description:
This book assesses the transition from New Labour's 'Spatial Planning' approach to the Coalition Government's preferred 'Localism' approach. This collection contains chapters looking at the planning system overall with a focus on factors such as sustainability and planning, new approaches to infrastructure planning, and the critical interface between urban policy, local economic development and planning.
This book was published as a special issue of Planning Practice and Research.
Review Quotes:
