Produktbeschreibung
Fully revised and thoroughly updated, the Second Edition of Planning and Urban Change provides an accessible yet richly detailed account of British urban planning. Stephen Ward demonstrates how urban planning can be understood through three categories: ideas - urban planning history as the development of theoretical approaches: from radical and utopian beginnings, to the `new right' thinking of the 1980s, and recent interest in green thought and sustainability; policies - urban planning history as an intensely political process, the text explains the complicated relation between planning theory and political practice; and impacts - urban planning history as the divergence of expectation and outcome, each chapter shows how intended impacts have been modified by economic and social forces. This Second Edition features an entirely new chapter on the key policy changes that have occurred under the Major and Blair governments, together with a critical review of current policy trends.
Autorenporträt
Stephen Ward lived near Brighton and by his own admission did not achieve great things at school. He found work on a building site and the owner of the site who was a barrister was sufficiently impressed to invite him to become a barristers' clerk. At the age of 16 with his first suit and a pink tie Stephen Ward became a junior clerk at 2 Crown Office Row in the Temple, London. At the age of 25, Stephen was one of the youngest senior clerks in the UK after 10 years' experience in the Temple and Grays Inn, London. He is now the Managing Director of Clerksroom and manages a team of 20 clerks and oversees the worldwide operations of Clerksroom.
