Description

Bringing together authors from academia and practice; this book examines spatial planning at different places throughout the British Isles. Six illustrative case studies of practice examine which conceptions of space and place have been articulated; presented and visualized through the production of spatial strategies. Ranging from a large conurbation (London) to regional (Yorkshire and Humber) and national levels; the case studies give a rounded and grounded view of the physical results and the theory behind them.While there is widespread support for re-orienting planning towards space and place; there has been little common understanding about what constitutes lsquo;spatial planningrsquo;; and what conceptions of space and place underpin it. This book addresses these questions and stimulates debate and critical thinking about space and place among academic and professional planners.
