About this title

Synopsis:

This study challenges the common misconception that planning under the Conservative government has been dismantled and abandoned to market forces. This new edition of the text brings the original study up to date with an analysis of how planning in the 1990s has responded to continuing economic restructuring, political fragmentation and social change, and developed a new awareness of uncertainty and risk. The book illustrates how planning remains as a never-ending attempt to reconcile the demands of economic efficiency with those of democratic legitimacy.
