Following on from Introducing Town Planning andImplementing Town
Planning, this third volume in the series examines the scope and
nature of modern town planning in greater depth. It investigates
the theories and preoccupations which inform the current planning
agenda, compares this with earlier objectives, and discusses likely
future trends. Written by a team of expert contributors under the
general editorship of Clara Greed, the book begins with a review of
town planning and then goes on to discuss the major themes in five
parts: the economic context of town planning planning for housing
planning for sustainability planning for city centres or
decentralisation changing agendas and agencies Within this
contextualising framework the contributors investigate many of the
current, and often conflicting, urban policy issues challenging the
planning profession. Over and above a commitment to traditional,
physical land use matters, planning practitioners nowadays must
take on board new priorities, deriving from the environmental
movement, the European Union, the economic climate, changing local
authority structures, and legislative frameworks. The contributors
discuss these new agendas, and demonstrate how they link to inner
city regeneration, city centre management, sustainability issues,
and wider social policy and urban governance questions. This volume
incorporates a more discursive and reflective approach to studying,
and thus constitutes a valuable text for final year undergraduate
and postgraduate courses in town planning, surveying, building,
architecture, and housing, as well as RTPI, RICS, CIOH, CIOB, ASI,
ISVA and RIBA courses. It will be of interest to a wider readership
studying urban economics, urban sociology, social policy and urban
geography, and to young professionals in both the public and
private sector of the property world.
