Reviews

Explores the process of neighbourhood planning, with a focus on the way groups traditionally subject to planning decisions interface with local policy actors and become a more integral part of the planning process. Journal of Economic Literature This book should be required reading for all those in central and local government who have an interest in promoting local democracy and ensuring that local communities are fully engaged in a more devolved planning system. - Urban Studies


This book should be required reading for all those in central and local government who have an interest in promoting local democracy and ensuring that local communities are fully engaged in a more devolved planning system. Urban Studies journal The Government has shaken up the planning system and wants to hand more power to local people through new 'Neighbourhood Plans'. Providing a critical analysis of community-based planning in England, Professor Gallent's book' could not be timelier. Kate Henderson, Chief Executive, Town and Country Planning Association This book challenges the rhetoric and megaphone debate that surrounds localism. It is essential reading for anyone who wants a critical understanding of the background and issues posed by the new planning system. Professor Vincent Goodstadt, School of Environment and Development, University of Manchester, UK ...a major advance in the development of collaborative planning that combines erudite scholarship with a pragmatic appraisal of the role communities can play in helping to shape their own localities... Professor Stephen Owen, Countryside and Community Research Institute, University of Gloucestershire, UK
