As well as being spatial, planning is necessarily also about the
future - and yet time has been relatively neglected in the
academic, practice and policy literature on planning. Time, in
particular the need for longer-term thinking, is critical to
responding effectively to a range of pressing societal challenges
from climate change to an ageing population, poor urban health to
sustainable economic development. This makes the relative neglect
of time not only a matter of theoretical importance but also
increasing practical and political significance. A Future for
Planning is an accessible, wide-ranging book that considers how
planning practice and policy have been constrained by
short-termism, as well as by a familiar lack of spatial thinking in
policy, in response to major social, economic and environmental
challenges. It suggests that failures in planning often represent
failures to anticipate and shape the future which go well beyond
planning systems and practices; rather our failure to plan for the
longer-term relates to wider issues in policy-making and
governance. This book traces the rise and fall of long-term
planning over the past 80 years or so, but also sets out how
planning can take responsibility for twenty-first century
challenges. It provides examples of successes and failures of
longer-term planning from around the world. In short, the book
argues that we need to put time back into planning, and develop
forms of planning which serve to promote the sustainability and
wellbeing of future generations.
