Institutions and Planning (Hardcover, New Ed.)

The chapters in this volume, written by a distinguished group of academics in planning and related fields, revisit the terrain of planning in light of recent developments in the recognition of the importance of institutions in planning. The book is divided into three sections:
The first section is concerned with examining the impact of the new institutionalism on the field of planning and on its theory. Chapters include those proposing intellectual justification of planning as a field and a profession.
The second section is concerned with how civic traditions and institutions affect the urban realm. The chapters here explore the impact of these concerns on the daily patterns of urban life and particularly on the examination of the role of institutions in making this vitality possible.
The final section examines the intellectual meaning of public-private partnerships that shed light on the role of planning in this new environment.
A Volume in the Current Research in Urban and Regional Studies Series.
*Chapters written by top tier academics
*Revisits planning based on recent developments
*Broken up into three parts: Planning Perspectives on Institutions, Institutional Design and Applying Institutional Ideas
