Over and above a commitment to traditional, physical land use matters, planning practitioners nowadays must take on board new priorities, deriving from the environmental movement, the European Union, the economic climate, changing local authority structures, and legislative frameworks. The contributors discuss these new agendas, and demonstrate how they link to inner city regeneration, city centre management, sustainability issues, and wider social policy and urban governance questions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume incorporates a more discursive and reflective approach to studying, and thus constitutes a valuable text for final year undergraduate and postgraduate courses in town planning, surveying, building, architecture, and housing, as well as RTPI, RICS, CIOH, CIOB, ASI, ISVA and RIBA courses. It will be of interest to a wider readership studying urban economics, urban sociology, social policy and urban geography, and to young professionals in both the public and private sector of the property world.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45238023061655,"sku":"9781138166714","price":15357.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138166714.webp?v=1769218351","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/investigating-town-planning-changing-perspectives-and-agendas-9781138166714","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
