Race, Planning and the Policy Process (Hardcover)

Drawing on a number of research studies of planning and urban policy, this book asks why racial equality has not been higher on professional and governmental agendas and suggests strategies for those working for change. It considers key issues such as how planning activities might lead to more emphasis on the significance of racial equality. Alternatively, can planning help challenge racism and promote equal opportunities? The book's arguments are sensitive to the rapidly changing focus of the politics of race, including: "fortress Europe", Macpherson and modernism.
