1 Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning 1 Dialogues in Urban and Regional Planning offers a selection of the best urban planning scholarship from each of the world s planning scholarship communities. The award-winning papers presented illustrate the concerns and the discourse of planning scholarship communities and provide a glimpse into planning theory and practice by planning academics around the world. All those with an interest in urban and regional planning will find this collection valuable in opening new avenues for research and debate. Set in context by the editors introductory chapter, these essays draw on local concerns but also reflect three international issues: the first, the relationship between planning and economy, is raised in situations ranging from mixed urban land-use in Canada via Olympic stadiums in Sydney to the effect of market forces on urban space in Buenos Aires. Concerns over the environment and conservation, the second issue, are raised in papers on biodiversity in Britain, the difficulties of balancing conservation and regeneration in Shanghai and the effects of ecological economic zoning in the Brazilian Amazon. The third issue: the nature of the planning process and decision-making, is raised through participation and communication in Belfast, Jerusalem, Johannesburg and Canada; the application of normative planning theory in Africa; and the use of storytelling as a way of gaining mutual understanding. The final chapter questions the ability of Critical Planning Theory to acknowledge the presence of power in the planning process. This book is published in association with the Global Planning Education Association Network (GPEAN), who have selected these papers from the international planning community. Editors: Bruce Stiftel is professor of Urban and Regional Planning at Florida State University, USA.
