Place Identity, Participation and Planning - 9780415262415

Taylor & Francis

As we live in increasingly standardized environments, how can we reconcile modern senses of identity with approaches to planning? This book examines contemporary narratives of territory and challenges planners to recognize how we live today. > The central concern of this book is place identity, and its representation and manipulation through planning. Place identity is of growing international concern, both in planning practice and in academic work. The issue is important to practitioners because of the impact of globalisation on notions of place. This book includes comparisons between Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Scotland, focusing strongly on the question of how different spatial planning systems and practices are currently conceiving and affecting issues of place identity. > \nPART 1: OBJECTIVES, THEORY AND CONCEPTS 1: Planning and place identity Cliff Hague 2: Space, place and territory: an analytical framework Paul Jenkins 3: Place identity and participation.
