Synopsis

Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning offers a selection of the best urban planning scholarship from each of the world's planning school associations. The award-winning papers presented illustrate the concerns and the discourse of planning scholarship communities and provide a glimpse into planning theory and practice by planning academics around the world. All those with an interest in urban and regional planning will find this collection valuable in opening new avenues for research and debate.

Set in context by the editors' introductory chapter, these essays draw on local concerns but also reflect international issues. These include the relationship between planning and economy; concerns over the environment and conservation; the nature of the planning process and decision-making, and the effects of power on planned change.

This book is published in association with the Global Planning Education Association Network (GPEAN), and the nine planning school associations it represents, who have selected these papers based on regional competitions.

Media Reviews

'The work represents quality and one cannot find fault with the thorough editing task that has occurred on several layers to bring together so many nationalities and differing standards and approaches to writing.' - Environment and Planning B

'The volume will no doubt be regarded as a must for the shelf of every serious planning library.' - Journal of Environmental Planning and Environment, January 2006

'The overwhelming result is a book that is international in scope and one that fills a significant void in the planning literature by providing, in a single source, scholarly work that would be otherwise unattainable on so widespread a basis.' - Regional Studies

The twelve chapters are of an exceptional quality. -- Canadian Journal of Urban Research
