Based on cases and interviews in Britain, Europe and the United States, this book explains the recurrence of regional planning and of initiatives in regional governance, in a wide range of advanced industrial countries. Providing an analysis of the nature of regional planning and governance, the book traces the development of regional planning and the institutions associated with it. It also looks at the way that regions have been changing their form under pressure from economic and political developments and examines how regional planning and governance has responded, comparing experience in the UK, the rest of Europe and the US. In concluding that regionalism is an imperative feature of politics in most countries, associated with almost any of the variety of forms of governance, the author offers a major appraisal of the significance of regional planning in an intemational context

As part of RPG 9, the Regional Transport Strategy sets out the spatial planning framework for the preparation of local transport plans, as well as other strategies and programmes. It seeks to achieve a high quality transport system by promoting management and cost-effective investment in the system and by rebalancing its structure and use in a more sustainable way. It supports the regional spatial strategy, particularly in relation to interregional corridors and urban renaissance. This document replaces chapter 9 of RPG 9 (2001 ed., ISBN 0117535621), and a revision of part of chapter 12, covering the Ashford growth area, is also available (ISBN 011753921X).

Metropolitan Planning in Britain is the first comparative analysis and assessment of metropolitan areas and their strategic planning for almost two decades. Changes in population distribution, styles of local government, business practices, and attitudes to the environment have all had an impact on cities in recent years which planners and other policy makers must take into consideration. Based on a series of research projects and the activities of a study group supported by the Regional Studies Association, the book examines in detail nine major urban areas, their specific characters and requirements, and how metropolitan planning is adapting to fulfil those requirements. It also discuses the possible future evolution of metropolitan planning, especially in the light of new regional arrangements and devolution.
