Regional Planning (Natural and Built Environment Series)

Regional Planning provides a comprehensive introduction to the concepts and theory of regional planning in the UK. Drawing on examples from throughout the country, it provides students and practitioners with a descriptive and analytical foundation for understanding this rapidly changing area of planning. The book includes four main sections covering: the context and history of regional planning; theoretical approaches; evolving practice; future prospects. New questions and methods of theorising are explored, and new connections made with contemporary debates in geography, political science and planning theory. The elements of critical analysis allow both practitioners and more advanced students to reflect upon their activities in a contemporary context. Regional Planning is the essential, up-to-date text for students interested in all aspects of this increasingly influential subject.John Glasson is the author of 'Regional Planning (Natural and Built Environment Series)', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415415255 and ISBN 041541525X.
