international planning studies

Managing Editor: John Lovering, Cardiff University, UK

Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis.

International Planning Studies addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.

Specific policy areas covered include:
· urban design
· economic development
· environmental policy
· spatial planning
· housing
· transport
· social inclusion.
