Doing Research in Urban and Regional Planning provides a basic
introduction to methodology and methods in planning research. It
brings together the methods most commonly used in planning,
explaining their key applications and basic protocols. It addresses
the unique needs of planners by dealing with concerns which cut
across the social, economic, and physical sciences, showing readers
how to mobilise fresh combinations of methods, theoretical
frameworks and techniques to address the complex needs of urban and
regional development. It includes illustrative case studies
throughout to help planning students see how methods can be
operationalised on the ground and connect research with urban and
regional planning practice to build foundations for action. The
book pays attention to contemporary trends - such as the growth in
information technology, and general shifts in urban and
environmental governance - that are affecting the practicalities
and protocols of doing planning research. Doing Research in Urban
and Regional Planning also encourages ethical reflection and
discusses the ethical issues specific to planning research. Each
chapter begins with a chapter outline with learning outcomes and
concludes with take-home messages and suggested further readings.
It also suggests a range of learning activities and discussion
points for each method.
