In what the authors refer to as the New Spatial Planning, there is a fairly rapidly evolving maturity and sophistication in how strategies are developed and produced. Crucially, the authors argue that the reworked boundaries of spatial planning means that to understand it we need to look as much outside the formal system of practices of planning as within it. \n\nUsing a rich empirical resource base, this book takes a critical look at recent practices to see whethe.
