The field of urban planning is far-reaching in breadth and depth.
This is due to the complex nature of cities, regions, and
development processes. The knowledge domain of planning includes
social, economic, technological, environmental, and political
systems that continue to evolve and expand rapidly. Understanding
these systems is an inter-disciplinary endeavor at the scale of
several academic fields. The wide range of topics considered by
planning educators and practitioners are often based on varying
definitions of "planning" and modes of planning practice. This
unique book discusses various elements and contributions to urban
planning research to show that seemingly disparate topics do in
fact intersect and together, contribute to ways of understanding
urban planning. The objective is not to discuss how to "do"
research, but rather, to explore the context of urban planning
scholarship with implications for the planning academy and planning
practice. This edited volume includes chapters contributed by a
diverse range of planning scholars who consider the corpus of
planning scholarship both historically and critically in their area
of expertise. It is essential reading for students of planning
research and planning theory from around the world.
