Remaking Planning

TRAMA

"Remaking Planning" challenges the common misconception that planning under the U.K.'s Conservative government has been dismantled and abandoned to market forces. This edition of a very well-received text brings the original study up-to-date with an analysis of how planning in the 1990s has responded to continuing economic restructuring, political fragmentation, and social change, and developed a new awareness of uncertainty and risk. The book illustrates how planning remains as a never-ending attempt to reconcile the demands of economic efficiency with those of democratic legitimacy.
