The Collaborating Planner?: Practitioners in the Neoliberal Age
Autor Ben Clifford, Mark Tewdwr-Jonesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iul 2014
This book aims to understand how both specific planning and broader public sector reforms have been experienced and understood by chartered town planners working at local levels of authority across Great Britain. Each chapter outlines the reaction by professionals to reforms promoted by successive central and devolved governments over the last decade, before considering the broader issues of what this tells us about how modernization is rolled out by frontline public servants. The Collaborating Planner? fills a glaring gap in scholarship and makes ideal reading for students and researchers interested in the UK planning system.

Recenzii
“[The Collaborating Planner?] provides an important contribution to understanding planning as a practice. It is valuable reading for both practitioners and researchers of planning and policy implementation.”
“Offers something unique to the body of literature on planning, for whilst there have been limited attempts to tell the story of reform from the planner’s perspective, few have been done from such a methodologically rich set of data. . . . Engaging and compelling.”
"There is no other book that so effectively illuminates the politics of contemporary planning—from the ideological drift of neoliberalism to the hard decisions on planning's front line. It should be on the reading lists of every university course in planning, housing, property development, and urban studies."
“In studies of the changing nature of planning, opinions are more common than empirical analyses. This is where Clifford and Tewdwr-Jones excel. In their rich and detailed exploration of the modernisation of planning they have produced an impressive account that adds to our understanding of change from the perspective of frontline planners.”
