This title was first published in 2001. The hierarchical approach
of regional planning institutions is facing crisis. In an era of
globalization, the conditions of urban growth dynamics is dependent
on innovation, entrepreneurial and economic structures and
socio-political and institutional forces. As a result, the notion
of 'region' has become more about social interaction than
geographical location. This volume examines how institutions must
adapt and modify their roles to suit this changing pattern of
development, by implementing more consensus-based approaches. Using
in-depth analysis of an innovative state-sponsored approach to
growth management planning in the USA, it assesses the
effectiveness and success of putting into place more flexible,
concerted and negotiated approaches to issues such as
inter-institutional relations and inter-governmental co-ordination.
In what will be an essential contribution to the debate surrounding
the future of regional planning and the role of institutions, the
volume highlights the limits and opportunities of these new policy
approaches and will be a key resource for planners, policy makers
and researchers alike.
