Books by Yvonne Rydin

Doing research is an essential element of almost all programmes in planning studies as well as related areas such as geography and urban studies, from undergraduate, through Masters to doctoral programmes.

Achieving urban sustainability is amongst the most pressing issues facing planners and governments. This book provides a cohesive analysis of sustainable urban development and examines the processes by which change in how urban areas are built can be achieved.

The second edition of this innovative introduction to urban and environmental planning combines comprehensive coverage of institutions and procedures with detailed analysis of the economic and political context of planning, its historical development and competing theoretical approaches.
