The aim of this book is to give both the professional planner and the student a feel for the current arguments alive in planning circles and to introduce contemporary research. This book has developed out of a series of seminars run at the Institute of Planning Studies at Nottingham University as part of its Continuing Professional Development Programme. Each of the seminars brings together speakers involved with the topic under discussion from a different aspect - some with academic research experience and others with practical policy implementation.
