of the state. The book discusses the planning system, processes,
legal constructs and approaches, taking into account the recent
regulatory changes within the UK nations. Restructured to improve
readability, it explores the interactions of government and society
with the planning system, and the relationship between urban
planning, the environment, and placemaking. It encourages the

* case study boxes; * further reading and resources; * guidance on

devolution.
