SynopsisWritten by an experienced author and widely respected academic, this valuable book asks whether the planning system is to blame for the frequent criticism it receives and discusses the ways in which management theories, tools and techniques can be applied to planning., Addressing issues of planning management and professional development, this book discusses the ways that management theories, tools, and techniques can be applied to planning practice. Drawing on case studies and a wealth of professional experience, Janice Morphet examines recent criticism of the planning system and gives much-needed attention to the connections between management and planning. Beneficial for planners at all stages of their career, this book is ideal for courses with a key focus on strategic planning and infrastructure investment as part of the planning process., Planning is central to economic, social and environmental life but its practice is frequently criticised by all who engage in it. Seen as too restrictive by those who promote development and too weak by those opposing it, planners who advise on proposals cannot sit on the fence. Is it the planning system that is problematic or is it the planners who work within it? This valuable book examines these issues at the continuing professional development level and discusses the ways in which management theories, tools and techniques can be applied to planning practice and used by all who engage in it. Written by an experienced author and widely respected academic, the book includes case studies and question and answer sections, and will be valuable through both initial and continuous professional education, helping candidates prepare for examinations and subsequent management.
