Planning Regional Futures is an intellectual call to engage
planners to critically explore what planning is, and should be, in
how cities and regions are planned. This is in a context where
planning is seen to face powerful challenges - professionally,
intellectually and practically - in ways arguably not seen before:
planning is no longer solely the domain of professional planners
but opened-up to a diverse group of actors; the link between the
study of cities and regions, which traditionally had a disciplinary
home in planning schools and the like, steadily eroded as research
increasingly takes place in interdisciplinary research institutes;
the advent of real-time modelling posing fundamental challenges for
the type of long-term perspective that planning has traditionally
afforded; 'regional planning' and its mixed record of achievement;
and, the link between 'region' and 'planning' becoming decoupled as
alternative regional (and other spatial) approaches to planning
have emerged. This book takes up the intellectual and practical
challenge of planning regional futures, moving beyond the narrow
confines of existing debate and providing a forum for debating what
planning is, and should be, for in how we plan cities and regions.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special
issue of Regional Studies.
