This timely book addresses what it is to be a planner in a changing
world: a world in need of transformation in the way planning is
done in order to tackle social problems and ecological crises.
Nicholas Low argues for the need to revalue public planning,
sensitive to the social context in which it takes place. Aiming to
define the social and political basis of planning, the book
highlights how our neo-liberal world has lost touch with the
importance of a well-resourced, impartial, professional and
permanent public service to democracy. It does so by exploring the
role of planning in long-term social and economic change, different
understandings of social power and class and how human-nature
relationships might influence ecological governance. Planning
scholars, particularly those focusing on urban and environmental
planning, will find this book an inspiring and accessible read,
integrating a wide range of social theories with social and
ecological justice.
