Summary

Looking at the role of spatial planning in major change such as urban extensions or redevelopment, this book asks how it can also deliver at the local level. Detailing the new local governance within which spatial planning now operates, and identifying the requirements of successful delivery, this book provides an introduction to project management approaches to spatial planning. It concludes with a forward look to the future.
