After years of being regarded as a regulatory tool; spatial planning is now a key agent in delivering better places for the future. Dealing with the role of spatial planning in major change such as urban extensions or redevelopment; this book asks how it can deliver at the local level. Setting out the new local governance within which spatial planning now operates and identifying the requirements of successful delivery; this book also provides an introduction to project management approaches to spatial planning. It details what the rules are for spatial planning; the role of evidence and public involvement in delivering the local vision and how this works as part of coherent and consistent sub-regional approach. The conclusion is a forward look at what is likely to follow the effective creation of inspiring and successful places using spatial planning as a key tool.

I have every edition and must confess that I am a bit of a "Swell" addict. I found "Home Swell Home" really up my alley. I love home design and decorating. I love Cynthia Rowley. And. I love illustration (which is very glorified in the "Swell" series).This great book is a mix between Martha Stewart (traditional) and modern chic. I find each idea very creative and while some things I would never attempt (way too "out-there") but there are many ideas that I have and WOULD do. I love their sense of fun about everything. From throwing a dinner party - to painting a room. Its all done with a sense of style and humor. I really love that and I will always try to bring that into my design and home.Love the entire "Swell" series and I will continue to follow their work for as long as they do it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A silly BookBy Nora KasardaA silly book. Thought it would really have something to do with design of a certain kind - not silly and useless advise. Definitely should be in the category of "13 or under" - a waste of money!20 of 24 people found the following review helpful. yawn.By Terible TeriI actually had put this book on my wish list before it had come out - but decided to check it out at the bookstore before ordering on . First off youll notice the book is thin. at only 192 pages. and remember that includes the intro. index. and bibliography. etc. Keep in mind that this is not coffee table sized hardcover either. but around 9 X 7. There are also no real pictures (save for one of the two writers/designers on the last page). A decorating book with no pictures? There are illustrations. but cmon. were not talking detailed images or even very imaginative ideas. I kept on going back to the table of contents thinking that I must have missed something. that they were somehow hidding pictures. or projects. or different colour schemes or anything. but alas no. If youre really looking for a swell guide to designing your digs this is surely not it. Im pretty sure I wrote something like this book a few years back for a college zine. Trying for a groovy It girl look? try checking out my lists. or check out design books by period. get a feel for your style. which designers you like. which period you like. If your interested in this book. id put the time periods around 1940s and on.PS for some kooky rooms but great projects check out Pad: The Guide to Ultra-Living -- by Matt Maranian.
