Citizenships, Contingency and the Countryside defines citizenship
in relation to the rural environment. The book expands and explores
a widened conceptualization of citizenship and sets out a range of
examples where citizenship, at different scales, has been expressed
in and over the rural environment. Part of the analysis includes a
review of the political construction and use of citizenship
rhetoric over the past 20 years, alongside an historical and
theoretical discussion of citizenship and rights in the British
countryside. The text concludes with a call to recognise and
incorporate the multiple voices and interests in decision-making,
that all affect the British countryside.
Planning today is an increasingly complex system of specialisms,
and this brand new introduction is the first textbook to offer both
a broad overview of each core area in planning, alongside the
skills necessary to combine each specialism in order to make
sustainable and efficient planning decisions. In so doing, it gives
students a unique glimpse into the realities of working in planning
today. Planners need knowledge that goes beyond the history of
planning decisions in order to reconcile competing demands, from
corporate speculative property developers to environmental
activists. This new role - aggregating specialisms - is at the
forefront of this innovative approach, equipping students with the
tools necessary to do planning; which today means being both expert
and generalist, specialist and synthesiser. Planners must now act
as professional mediators of different (often conflicting or
incompatible) interests. Planners are themselves working as
specialists, whether that is in heritage, transport, ecology,
economic assessment, or design. And this dual role reflects the
organisation of this new text, introduced with a wealth of
practitioner-informed chapters to enliven and inspire passion for
the crucial role of planning. This text is an ideal companion for
all practitioners and students of planning and related disciplines
- at undergraduate and master's level.

Charting the experience of Planning Aid England (PAE) past and
present, this book examines the challenges in delivering a
participatory planning agenda in the face of an increasingly
neoliberalised planning system.
Neighbourhood Planning (NP), introduced by the Localism Act of
2011, is the right for communities to decide the future of the
places where they live and work. This book examines the experience
of neighbourhood planners, analysing what communities have
achieved, how they have done so and what went well or badly.
Comparing NP with other forms of community planning and
highlighting the main lessons learned so far, it acts as a
navigation tool for people already involved in neighbourhood
planning, as well as those contemplating participation.
