Planning Regional Futures is an intellectual call to engage
planners to critically explore what planning is, and should be, in
how cities and regions are planned. This is in a context where
planning is seen to face powerful challenges – professionally,
intellectually and practically – in ways arguably not seen
before: planning is no longer solely the domain of professional
planners but opened-up to a diverse group of actors; the link
between the study of cities and regions, which traditionally had a
disciplinary home in planning schools and the like, steadily eroded
as research increasingly takes place in interdisciplinary research
institutes; the advent of real-time modelling posing fundamental
challenges for the type of long-term perspective that planning has
traditionally afforded; ‘regional planning’ and its mixed
record of achievement; and, the link between ‘region’ and
‘planning’ becoming decoupled as alternative regional (and
other spatial) approaches to planning have emerged. This book takes
up the intellectual and practical challenge of planning regional
futures, moving beyond the narrow confines of existing debate and
providing a forum for debating what planning is, and should be, for
in how we plan cities and regions. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of Regional Studies.
