This book brings together a group of distinguished international
authors to analyze and comment upon the various roles of evaluation
and valued ideas, in planning and education of planners. Topics
covered include the nature of aesthetic judgement and of practical
judgement, the implications for planning of various theories of
environmental ethics, and the significance of key concepts such as
heritage, justice, professional ethics and the public interest in
orienting planning practice. Contributors relate their ideas about
planning to a wide range of philosophical and social theories and
debates, including feminist writings, discussions of post
modernism, critical theory and the work of Anglo-American
analytical philosophers. These essays will prove stimulating not
only to planning theorists and practitioners, but to anyone
interested in the way evaluations and key concepts contained in
them can and should influence public policy.
Race, Faith and Planning in Britain adopts a Critical Race Theory
perspective to analyse and discuss challenges of planning in
contemporary multi-ethnic Britain. Exploring how planning is
affected by and affects the racialisation of social relations, this
book charts the history of the UK planning system's approach, in
terms of the spatial consequences of immigration, and discourses of
diversity, cohesion, citizenship and belonging. Authors Richard
Gale and Huw Thomas pay special attention to the experiences of
minority groups in Britain, including Gypsies and Travellers, and
British Muslims. They underline that the struggle over planning in
racialised societies must be construed as part of a wider political
struggle over equality. This book is an essential read for students
and practitioners of planning in multi-cultural contexts.
Title first published in 2003. Much has been written about the
problems minorities encounter in Western European and North
American cities. This insightful volume acknowledges the
deep-rooted nature of inequalities and discrimination, but seeks
ways of ameliorating and eradicating them from positive stories of
minority involvement in regeneration.

Drawing on a number of research studies of planning and urban
policy, ace and Planning asks why racial equality has not been
higher on professional and government agendas, and suggests
strategies for those working on change. It considers key issues
such as how planning activities might lead to more emphasis on the
significance of racial equality; might currently it be unwittingly
underpinning racial disadvantage? Alternatively, can planning help
challenge racism and promote equal opportunities? The book's
arguments are sensitive to the rapidly changing focus of the
politics of race including: 'fortress Europe', Macpherson and
modernism.

Nearly 20 years after Mrs Thatcher first came to power the debate
over the significance of what has been termed the New Right
continues. Did the 1980s and 1990s see the death of planning and
other areas of the public sector as some have claimed or were
reports of their demise premature? This book tackles this and other
questions. Experts in a wide range of land use policy areas examine
the changes that were brought about during the 1980s and 1990s in
planning and the environment, and argue that much less was achieved
than expected. There is little doubt that New Right policy has had
a major influence on the shape and direction of British politics.
The planning system reacted to these changes in a way that altered
or diluted centrally directed proposals. How this came about tells
us as much about the shape and power of local planning in the UK as
it does about the ability of central government to impose its
preferred policies. Urban planning and the British New Right says
as much about the administration, institutions and processes of
planning as it does about Mrs Thatcher's attempts to change it.

For a man who has spent almost a lifetime waiting to be King, Huw
Thomas reveals how Wales prepared Charles for the crown. Despite
his initial reluctance to come to Wales as a student, his time
spent learning the history and language of the Welsh at Aberystwyth
in the 1960s fostered a passionate commitment to the nation. Wales
has not always returned the compliment, with popular protests and
more subtle snubs to his involvement in Welsh affairs. And yet
those who have worked with him, and who call him a friend, cite a
remarkable ability to make a difference without making a fuss. As a
diplomat he is credited with bringing major employers to south
Wales, offering jobs to a workforce that had been decimated by the
collapse of the coal industry. As a cultural ambassador he revived
royal patronage for the arts in Wales and sponsored the finest
performers to emerge from the land of song. And as a champion of
the natural environment, he has backed the farmers and
conservationists who are nurturing the Welsh countryside, not least
by employing traditional crafts to create the first royal home in
Wales for 400 years.

Parents, Personalities and Power: Welsh-medium Schools in
South-east Wales is the first volume ever published to investigate
in depth the interdependent influences on the phenomenal growth of
such schools over the last half century. Derived from a sustained
research investigation based in the School of Welsh, Cardiff
University (2003 - 8), the research is set within a constantly
evolving linguistic, social and political society. The authors
underline the international interest in the sustainable and
continuing growth of the Ysgolion Cymraeg, and, as the title
suggests, note the various powers that have influenced the shaping
of the Welsh-school movement. These reflect the increased interest
in the language and identity of Wales and the future challenges
these schools face.

This book is an authoritative overview and discussion of key themes
in contemporary urban policy evaluation.
The rapid introduction of new urban policy initiatives looks set
to continue in the UK, while there is increasing interest in both
North America and Europe in cross-national comparisons, and the
possibilities of transferable practice.
This volume focuses on current urban policy evaluation practice,
placing the UK in an European context. The authors address key
issues in the methodology and politics of evaluation: quantitative
and qualitative evaluation and the ways in which institutional and
political realities can affect this. The authors put forward
examples of pluralistic evaluation. A final section considers the
role of cross-national comparisons in urban policy evaluation.
Analysis of urban and regional change has been a major theme in
social science research for more than a decade. As a result there
is extensive theory and evidence about the way in which economic,
social and political forces shape urban fortunes.
