Key Concepts in Planning



July 2012 | 296 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
"I have been looking for a book which does this for ages! It provides a clear explanation of the different elements and concepts which underpin how the planning system works and which are fundamental to the operation of the UK system. It also provides good guidance on further reading. A real assett to anyone wanting to understand the nature of planning in the UK"
- Dr Catherine Hammond, Architecture and Planning, Sheffield Hallam University

Key Concepts in Planning forms part of an innovative set of companion texts for the human geography sub-disciplines. Organized around 19 short essays, the book provides a cutting edge introduction to the central concepts that define contemporary research in planning. Involving detailed and expansive discussions, the text includes:

  • An introductory chapter providing a succinct overview of the recent developments in the field.
  • 18 key concept entries with comprehensive explanations, definitions and evolutions of the subject.
  • Detailed suggested further reading for each concept discussed.

The book was a very useful addition to the supplemental reading list but was, unfortunately, a little to broad for the 4th year module I teach.

Very accessible introduction to planning - prpobably the best one around.

An excellent text, the most current available in the topic. Given the changing scene this is very helpful in setting the background and the current position with regards to relevant planning frameworks.
I am using it for undergrads and postgrads. Well written and well structured.

A good oversight of key planning issues and concepts. The chapters on sustainability, community, development and competitveness are particularly useful for students requiring an introduction to such topics.
