Beskrivning

Presenting the complexities of doing planning work, with all its attendant moral and practical dilemmas, this rich ethnographic study analyses how places are made through stories of four diverse public and private sector working environments.The book provides a unique insight for educators, students and researchers into the everyday lives of planners and those in associated built environment occupations. This exceptional account of the micro-politics of a knowledge-intensive profession also provides an excellent resource for sociologists of contemporary work. The authors use team ethnography to push the methodological frontiers of planning research and to advance organisational ethnography into new areas.

“I would recommend this book as a useful and accessible resource to understand what is happening in planning at the moment, and why both the system and individual planners need to be enabled to fulfil their roles towards the collective public interest.” International Journal of Housing Policy
