Reviews for Town and Country Planning in the UK

"""Town and Country Planning in the UK is the go to resource for planning students in the UK. It also provides a great resource for others from beyond the UK who want to know about UK planning systems, policy and background. The 16th edition continues the tradition of the previous iterations in providing the definitive guide."" Professor Gavin Parker, University of Reading, UK. ""Barry Cullingworth’s Town and Country Planning has become a go-to resource for practitioners and students of planning since the first edition appeared in 1964. The newest edition - four times longer than the original and produced by a team with a wealth of research, teaching, and practice expertise - details the expanding intricacies and broadening duties of the UK's planning systems and local practice whilst also providing an essential discussion of the wider purpose and spirit of planning: why we plan what good planning might look like. It remains the definitive conceptual and practical guide to planning across the UK."" Nick Gallent, University College London, UK. ""Town & Country Planning in the UK, now in its 16th Edition, continues to deliver the definitive and most comprehensive analysis of the UK’s planning system. It provides a unique account of how the UK planning system functions, unrivalled in its breadth of topics and in-depth critique. Quite simply, this book is essential reading for planning students and practitioners not only in the UK, but for planners around the globe interested in understanding the complexity and evolution of planning."" Mark Scott, Professor of Planning & Dean of Architecture, University College Dublin, Ireland. ""Barry Cullingworth’s Town and Country Planning has been a must-read classic for successive generations of planning students, including myself, and stood the test of time in the last 60 years! The content and scope of the book has been broadened and enriched by the contributors who are experts and passionate of the UK Planning Systems. The 16th edition of this classic text successfully pulls the threads of historic and current development of the planning systems and highlights both challenges and opportunities of the field."" Cecilia Wong, University of Manchester, UK."
