Instruments of Planning: Tensions and Challenges for more Equitable and Sustainable Cities critically explores planningrsquo;s instrumentality to deliver important social and environmental outcomes in neoliberal planning landscapes. Because each instrument is unique and may be tailored to its own jurisdictional needs; Instruments of Planning is a compendium of case studies from urban regions in Australia; Canada; the United States and Europe; providing readers with a collection that critically challenges the role and potential of planning instruments and instrumentality across a range of contexts. Instruments of Planning captures the political; institutional; and economic challenges that confront planning. It examines planning instruments designed to assist with strategic planning and implementation; and considers the role that technology plays in unpacking and understanding complexity in planning. Written by Rebecca Leshinsky and Crystal Legacy of RMIT University in Melbourne; Australia; this book fills the gap in planning theory about the instrumentality of planning in the neoliberal urban context. It is essential reading for students; urban researchers; policy analysts and planning practitioners.

I knew the content would be good. but the art reproduction itself within it is also terrific -- something that is not always easy when translating art to printed pieces. Moreover. the interesting and engaging way the information is both articulated and laid out graphically makes this a very captivating read. Whether you want to learn how to draw or just want to see what separates truly extraordinary talent from all the rest. this book is a must-have.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful.
