New Labour and Planning: From New Right to New Left

Description

Following the Thatcher and Major administrations there was an apparent renaissance of planning under New Labour. This active revival in planning policy demonstrates not just how governments succeed and fail in policy changes, but also illustrates how planning itself reacts to these modifications. Allmendinger presents a thorough analysis of the planning system throughout the years of the Labour government, and what this means for the future of UK planning policy.;BOOK COVER; TITLE; COPYRIGHT; CONTENTS; ILLUSTRATIONS; PREFACE; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS; 1 FROM NEW RIGHT TO NEW LEFT; 2 NEW LABOUR AND PLANNING; 3 UNDERSTANDING PLANNING UNDER LABOUR; 4 PLANNING AND URBAN POLICY; 5 SPATIAL PLANNING; 6 HITTING THE TARGET AND MISSING THE POINT: Speed in planning decisions; 7 DEVELOPMENT, INFRASTRUCTURE AND LAND TAXATION; 8 CONCLUSIONS; NOTES; REFERENCES; INDEX.
