Strategic Planning for Regional Development Principles And Practice in the Uk

A collection of high quality writing in the field of strategic regional planning, focusing on the renewed emphasis in the UK on strategic regional planning whichhas beenenshrined in recent legislation such as the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Bill. This legislation places demands upon regional bodies that they are poorly equipped to respond to, due to a shortage of personnel who are experienced and trained in planning at the regional scale.Divided into five parts, the book looks at the evolution of regional planning, the essential concepts and issues, the spatial implications of regional economic development policies, the methods and techniques needed, and how strategic regional planning is currently applied in three of the regions, each with different priorities.Thompson, Robin is the author of 'Strategic Planning for Regional Development Principles And Practice in the Uk', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415349383 and ISBN 0415349389.
