内容简介

Bringing together authors from academia and practice, "Conceptions of Space and Place in Strategic Spatial Planning" examines spatial planning at different scales in a number of case studies throughout the British Isles. Through this exploration of the spatial strategies the authors look at which conceptions of space and place have been articulated, presented and visualised. The case studies - ranging from a large conurbation (London) to regional (Yorkshire and Humber) and national levels - are each examined by two authors, one academic and one practitioner, to give a rounded and grounded view of the physical result and the theory behind it, combining academic rigor and practical experience. Following a recent resurgence of strategic spatial plans and perspectives, from EU to regional and local levels "Conceptions of Space and Place in Strategic Spatial Planning" helps planners to become re-engaged in critical thinking about space and place.
