Books in the New Directions in Planning Theory series

Revision of the author's thesis (Cardiff University) under the title: Making Deleuze useful to planning.

Offers a strategy for making argued choices between alternative planning approaches, despite their theoretical and philosophical positions. This title provides the theoretical investigation of arguments for navigating the theoretical plurality we face and an empirical study into renewing environmental governance.

Spatial planning is about dealing with our 'everyday' environment. This title presents various understandings of complexity and how the environment is considered accordingly. It argues that environments confronted with discontinuous, non-linear evolving processes might be more real than the idea that an environment is simply a planner's creation.
