Description
Drawing on the author's own extensive experience of planning practice at all levels, this major new text reflects on the skills needed to do the job and how these might be developed. Planning practice skills are divided into seven broad clusters which are introduced, analyzed, and then tested through self-assessment case studies and exercises.
Reviews / Votes
'This book represents an important contribution to the debate about what constitute the core planning skills and will be essential reading for those involved in planning education.' - Nick Bailey, Planning Practice and Research 'Ted Kitchen is one of the outstanding British planners of his generation...It was therefore with some eagerness that I read Skills for Planning Practice and I was not disappointed. It presents a systematic overview of the range of skills all practising planners need at some stage in their career...the way the subjects are handled is very practical and easily read.' - Vincent Goodstadt, Urban StudiesMore details
