It brings together the methods most commonly used in planning, explaining their key applications and basic protocols.

It includes illustrative case studies throughout to help planning students see how methods can be operationalised on the ground and connect research with urban and regional planning practice to build foundations for action.The book pays attention to contemporary trends – such as the growth in information technology, and general shifts in urban and environmental governance – that are affecting the practicalities and protocols of doing planning research. Doing Research in Urban and Regional Planning also encourages ethical reflection and discusses the ethical issues specific to planning research.Each chapter begins with a chapter outline with learning outcomes and concludes with take-home messages and suggested further readings.
