This is an insightful study of spatial planning and housing
strategy in London, focusing on the period 2000-2008 and the
Mayoralty of Ken Livingstone. Duncan Bowie presents a detailed
analysis of the development of Livingstone's policies and their
consequences.
Examining the theory and practice of spatial planning at a
metropolitan level, Bowie examines the relationships between:
- planning, the residential development market and affordable
housing
- environmental, economic and equity objectives
- national, regional and local planning agencies and their
policies.
It places Livingstone's Mayoralty within its historical context
and looks forward to the different challenges faced by
Livingstone's successors in a radically changed political and
economic climate.
Clear and engaging, this critical analysis provides a valuable
resource for academics and their students as well as planning,
housing and development professionals. It is essential reading for
anyone interested in politics and social change in a leading 'world
city' and provides a base for parallel studies of other major
metropolitan regions.
