Beskrivning
Planning is central to economic, social and environmental life but its practice is frequently criticised by all who engage in it. Seen as too restrictive by those who promote development and too weak by those opposing it, planners who advise on proposals cannot sit on the fence. Is it the planning system that is problematic or is it the planners who work within it? This valuable book examines these issues at the continuing professional development level and discusses the ways in which management theories, tools and techniques can be applied to planning practice and used by all who engage in it. Written by an experienced author and widely respected academic, the book includes case studies and question and answer sections, and will be valuable through both initial and continuous professional education, helping candidates prepare for examinations and subsequent management.

"As this book explains, effective leadership and management are crucial to successful planning. All those who aspire to leadership positions in planing would do well to heed its advice." David Adams, University of Glasgow; "Good leadership in planning is recognised as a vital quality for the creation of successful places. This comprehensive book gives public and private sector planners a real insight into how to achieve this in the context of a declining public sector in an increasingly privatised world."
