Edited by Andrea I. Frank, PhD, Teaching Fellow in Urban Planning, Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, UK and Artur da Rosa Pires, Professor of Spatial Planning, Innovation and Development Policy, Department of Social, Political and Territorial Sciences, University of Aveiro, Portugal

‘This is a well-written international engagement with pedagogical innovation and change in planning education. I agree with the authors that right now, spatial planning is crucial to planetary survival but that there are profound challenges to overcome. The book provides a range of case studies that will provide the planning educator, or any other reader, an opportunity to examine how context interfaces with pedagogical approaches, and ultimately to learn from them.’
