Instruments of Planning captures the political, institutional, and economic challenges that confront planning. It examines planning instruments designed to assist with strategic planning and implementation, and considers the role that technology plays in unpacking and understanding complexity in planning.
Written by Rebecca Leshinsky and Crystal Legacy of RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, this book fills the gap in planning theory about the instrumentality of planning in the neoliberal urban context. It is essential reading for students, urban researchers, policy analysts and planning practitioners.
Reviews / Votes
"Leshinsky and Legacy present a timely collection of state-of-the-art chapters on current problems and creative solutions regarding spatial planning, law, and property rights. This book explores the pertinent question of who owns, who plans, and who has the power to facilitate change." - Ben Davy, TU Dortmund University"This book presents a collection of case studies and synthetic analyses speaking to the challenges confronting urban centers in light of the global push for neoliberal policies that privilege markets, competitiveness, and individual advancement, sometimes at the expense of individual equity and community welfare. It provides an important and timely check on how well conventional planning systems are positioned--or not--to address these larger forces, along with insights on how to reform those planning systems to better address challenges ahead." - Richard K. Norton, University of Michigan
