Planning and Knowledge
Policy Press (Verlag)
978-1-4473-4524-4 (ISBN)
This book uses a broad international perspective to examine the different landscapes of knowledge driving contemporary urban change, as historically established systems of regulation and control are being subject to unprecedented pressures from multiple directions. Its authors reflect on the shift in power relations between expert and local cultures in planning processes, examining its disruptive effect on the traditional separation between public, private, and voluntary sectors.
Mike Raco is Professor of Urban Governance and Development in the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London. Federico Savini is an Assistant Professor in Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Amsterdam, Department of Human Geography, Planning and International Development Studies.
