Planning today is an increasingly complex system of specialisms,
and this brand new introduction is the first textbook to offer both
a broad overview of each core area in planning, alongside the
skills necessary to combine each specialism in order to make
sustainable and efficient planning decisions. In so doing, it gives
students a unique glimpse into the realities of working in planning
today. Planners need knowledge that goes beyond the history of
planning decisions in order to reconcile competing demands, from
corporate speculative property developers to environmental
activists. This new role - aggregating specialisms - is at the
forefront of this innovative approach, equipping students with the
tools necessary to do planning; which today means being both expert
and generalist, specialist and synthesiser. Planners must now act
as professional mediators of different (often conflicting or
incompatible) interests. Planners are themselves working as
specialists, whether that is in heritage, transport, ecology,
economic assessment, or design. And this dual role reflects the
organisation of this new text, introduced with a wealth of
practitioner-informed chapters to enliven and inspire passion for
the crucial role of planning. This text is an ideal companion for
all practitioners and students of planning and related disciplines
- at undergraduate and master's level.
