About the Book

This book uses a broad international perspective to examine the different landscapes of knowledge driving contemporary urban change, as historically-established systems of regulation and control are being subject to unprecedented pressures from multiple directions. Its authors reflect on the shift in power relations between expert and local cultures in planning processes, examining its disruptive effect on the traditional separation between public, private, and voluntary sectors.
