Planning, at the urban, regional, and 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 ( IPS ) 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
