Book presentation
Urban Complexity and Spatial Strategies develops important
new relational and institutionalist approaches to policy analysis
and planning, of relevance to all those with an interest in cities
and urban areas. Well-illustrated chapters weave together conceptual
development, experience and implications for future practice and
address the challenge of urban and metropolitan planning and development.
Useful for students, social scientists and policy makers, the book
offers concepts and detailed cases of interest to those involved
in policy development and management, as well as providing a foundation
of ideas and experiences, an account of the place-focused practices
of governance and an approach to the analysis of governance dynamics.
For those in the planning field itself, this book re-interprets
the role of planning frameworks in linking spatial patterns to social
dynamics with twenty-first century relevance.
