This book is an account of how the Milan Provincial Administration
and a team of researchers from Milan Polytechnic worked together to
develop a new 'Strategic Plan' for Milan's urban region. Informed
by innovative conceptions of both how to understand cities in the
contemporary world, and engage in strategic planning work, this
experience has already attracted considerable international
attention. The authors now consolidate their contribution into a
comprehensive account which continually relates theory and practice
Examining the Milan Plan in detail, the book explains the profound
transformations which put great pressure on the traditional
descriptive tools so planners must engage in the production of new
ones. It also proposes that these transformations affect the way in
which urban policies and planning processes are designed. The
project offers insights into - and new directions for - planning
theory more generally, while at the same time testing this powerful
and innovative research hypothesis in an important European city
empirical study. In detailing the results of this project, this
book proposes useful ground-breaking approaches to planning for
similar urban regions.
