Opis

Many issues such as access for the disabled, childcare facilities, environmental matters, and ethnic minority issues are excluded from town planning considerations by planning authorities. This book shows the concept of social town planning to integrate planning policy and practices with the cultural and social issues of the people they are planning for. The first part provides background on the development of a social dimension to the predominantly physical, land use based, British town planning system. It then goes on to investigate a representative selection of minority planning topics, in respect of gender, race, age and disability, cross-linked to the implications for mainstream policy areas such as housing, rural planning and transport. The book also discusses the likely influence of a range of global and European policy initiatives and organisations in changing the agenda of British town planning. Planning for healthy cities, sustainability, social cohesion, and equity are discussed.
