In 2003 the Labour Government published its ambitious Sustainable
Communities Plan. It promised to bring about a 'step change' in the
English planning system and a new emphasis on the construction of
more balanced, cohesive, and competitive places. This book uses
historical and contemporary materials to document the ways in which
policy-makers, in different eras, have sought to use state powers
and regulations to create better, more balanced, and sustainable
communities and citizens. It charts the changes that have take
place in community-building policy frameworks, place imaginations,
and core spatial policy initiatives in the UK since 1945. In so
doing, it examines the tensions that have emerged within spatial
policy over the types of places that should be created and the
forms of mobility and fixity required to create them. It also shows
that there are significant lessons that can be learnt from the
experiences of the past. These can be used to inform contemporary
policy debates over issues such as migration, uneven development,
key worker housing, and sustainability. The book will be an
important text for students and researchers in geography, urban
studies, planning, and modern social history. It will also be of
interest to practitioners working in central and local government,
voluntary organisations, community groups, and those involved in
the planning and design of sustainable communities.
