"Localism" has been deployed in recent debates over planning law
as an anodyne, grassroots way to shape communities into
sustainable, human-scale neighborhoods. But "local" is a moving
category, with contradictory, nuanced dimensions. "Reconsidering
Localism" brings together new scholarship from leading academics in
Europe and North America to develop a theoretically-grounded
critique and definition of the new localism, and how it has come to
shape urban governance and urban planning.
Moving beyond the UK, this book examines localism and similar
shifts in planning policy throughout Europe, and features essays on
localism and place-making, sustainability, social cohesion, and
citizen participation in community institutions. It explores how
debates over localism and citizen control play out at the
neighborhood, institutional and city level, and has come to effect
the urban landscape throughout Europe. "Reconsidering Localism "is
a current, vital addition to planning scholarship.
