Globalization was the buzzword of the last decade. Advances in
communication technology, computing and air travel have all
contributed to the establishment of what has been referred to as a
'network society' that encompasses the globe. Such arguments
clearly have a significance on planning - an activity which has
been concerned with controlling and shaping the use of space. This
volume brings together contributions from across the world in order
to address some of the questions that arise from such global
changes. The opening section addresses the globalization debate
directly, raising some theoretical issues and exploring the
planning implications across a range of world cities. This is
followed by an exploration of the way the theoretical debate about
planning may need to advance to encompass contemporary forces. A
number of more specific accounts addressing the need for adaptation
are offered. The final section focuses on two aspects - housing and
sustainability - which persist as 'wicked problems' and are likely
to remain at the top of the agenda in the third millennium.
