Planning Futures
Planning Futures: New Directions for Planning Theory | Philip Allmendinger, Mark Tewdwr-Jones
3 posts
Planning theory is currently in a confused state as a consequence of a number of changes over the last ten years in planning practice and social and economic theory. Even prior to these events, planning theory was an uncertain discipline, reflecting planning's precarious position between and resting upon a range of professional subject areas and philosophical roots. Planning Futures is an attempt to pin down the constantly evolving landscape of planning theory and to chart a path through this fast changing field. Planning Futures is an up-to-date reader on planning theory, but adds something more to the subject area than a mere textbook. The contributors have attempted to bridge theory and practice while putting forward new theoretical ideas. By drawing upon examples from planning practice and case study scenarios, the authors ensure that the work discusses planning theory within the context of present planning practice. Case studies are drawn from an international arena, from the UK, Europe, South Africa and Australia.

I‘m handing in my thesis this summer, which, most likely, entails some months of unemployment. So to keep those months from being too 💩💩 I‘m planning a list of chunksters I really want to read when I have lots of time. This is what happens when #waydownwego in the rabbit hole of procrastination. So if you have any #chunkster must read, let me know! 👍

This is the first year I've been really excited to complete reading challenges! #thanksLitsy! I love spreadsheets *and* pretty displays, so I've got my heavy-duty, multi-tab, color-coded Google spreadsheet for the real planning and this little layout to fill in every time I actually finish a challenge book in the #litsyreadingchallenge. I've got one for #readharder2017 too!

LindsayReads SPREADSHEETS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8y
LectricSheep @LindsayReads RIGHT?! They're so soothing! People think I'm crazy, but...🙃 8y

Jinjer Can we see more of your spreadsheet? What are all the different tabs and colors? #ilovespreadsheets 8y
LectricSheep @Jinjer I love spreadsheets too! 😆So I have different tabs for overall TBR, reading challenge TBRs (I'm doing Read Harder and Litsy), and books I've actually read that year. I have a color code for books owned, books available through a library system, and books I'd need to buy. 8y
Jinjer Thanks for explaining!!! 8y
