OverviewNearly twenty years after Mrs Thatcher first came to power the debate over the significance of what has been termed the New Right continues. Did the 1980s and 1990s see the death of planning and other areas of the public sector as some have claimed or were reports of their demise premature? Urban Planning and the British New Right tackle this and other questions. Leading experts in a wide range of land use policy areas examine the changes that were brought about during the 1980s and 1990s in planning and the environment, and argue that much less was achieved than expected. There is little doubt that New Right policy has had a major influence on the shape and direction of British politics. The planning system reacted to these changes in a way that altered or diluted centrally directed proposals. How this came about tells us as much about the shape and power of local planning in the UK as it does about the ability of central government to impose its preferred policies.Urban Planning and the British New Right says as much about the administration, institutions and processes of planning as it does about Mrs Thatcher's attempts to change it.
