This book is the result of a three day workshop on "Evaluation in
theory and practice in spatial planning" held in Ramsey Hall,
University College London, in September 1996. Some 30 people from 8
different countries attended and 20 papers were presented. The
majority of them now form the basis for this book. This occasion
was the third on the topic, the two preceding having taken place in
Umea in June 1992 and in Bari in 1994. Following these three
meetings, we can now say that this small, industrious,
international family really enjoy meeting up from time to time at
each others places, in the presence of older members and new
children, each one presenting his/her own recent experiences. It
particularly enjoys exchanging views and arguing about the current
state and the future of evaluation in spatial planning (all
families have their vices ... ). It is also pleasing to see these
experiences and discussions resulting in a book for those who could
not attend and for the broader clan in the field. Not long time
ago, but ages in the accelerated academic time scale, evaluation in
planning established its own role and distinct features as an
instrument for helping the decision-making process. Now this role
and these features are exposed to major challenges. First, the
evolution of planning theory has lead to the conception of new
planning paradigms, based on theories of complexity and
communicative rationality.
