Description

Product Description Instruments of Planning: Tensions and Challenges for more Equitable and Sustainable Cities critically explores planning’s instrumentality to deliver important social and environmental outcomes in neoliberal planning landscapes. Because each instrument is unique and may be tailored to its own jurisdictional needs, Instruments of Planning is a compendium of case studies from urban regions in Australia, Canada, the United States and Europe, providing readers with a collection that critically challenges the role and potential of planning instruments and instrumentality across a range of contexts. 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. Review "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 About the Author Rebecca Leshinsky is a Senior Lecturer in Property, School of Property, Construction and Project Management, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, and the author of a number of practitioner books in the areas of property and strata law. Crystal Legacy is an Australian Research Council (DECRA) Fellow and a Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellow in the Centre for Urban Research at RMIT University. She is co-editor of Building Inclusive Cities: Women’s safety and the right to the city (Routledge).
