Riassunto

Neighbourhood Planning offers a critical analysis of community-based planning in England. A lively examination of planning practices, it sketches the value, rationale, and limits of collaboration within this endeavor, arguing that planning power should shift from the public realm to local communities. The authors question the extent to which movement toward genuine local partnerships— and the consensus required for them—can be achieved through rescaling, as opposed to greater efforts spent building relationships and generating trust in the communities affected. In doing so, they highlight the potential contribution such planning practices can make to the development of a collaborative democracy.

"...a major advance in the development of collaborative planning that combines erudite scholarship with a pragmatic appraisal of the role communities can play in helping to shape their own localities..." --Professor Stephen Owen, Countryside and Community Research Institute, University of Gloucestershire, UK

"The Government has shaken up the planning system and wants to hand more power to local people through new 'Neighbourhood Plans'. Providing a critical analysis of community-based planning in England, Professor Gallent's book' could not be timelier." --Kate Henderson, Chief Executive, Town and Country Planning Association
