This is a wide-ranging and internationally-focussed introduction to
planning for the urban landscape. It provides an up-to-date account
of planning, reflecting throughout on the need for sustainable,
efficient and equitable solutions to planning problems. Taking
account of the sometimes conflicting expectations of markets,
citizens, public organizations and planners, it demonstrates the
similarities of challenges faced in different national planning
systems. The author traces the historical evolution of planning and
urban governance, and explores the range of urban problems and
policies likely to be found in almost any city in the developed
world. Combining the latest theory in the field with practical
insight and numerous illustrative case studies, the author
comprehensively addresses issues of economic change and
development; retailing and the role of urban centres; housing
provision and neighbourhood renewal; urban design and conservation;
green and blue infrastructure; and mobility and accessibility.
Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, this text is the ideal
accessible introduction to the planning field, giving equal focus
to both theory and practice. Whilst celebrating the work of
planners, it also provides essential critical analysis of how key
decisions are made and implemented, the benefits and limitations of
planning, and ultimately its potential in achieving 'good city
form'.
