Opis

Planning evaluation is a critically important process providing information that can improve the quality and accountability of decision-making. Bringing together examples of current research and practice from Europe, the UK, and North America, this book explores the latest ideas that have been developed in this field. By evaluating case studies the authors deal with the complexity of various decision settings, and provides the reader with practical advice useful in similar situations.

Recenzje

'The late Henk Voogd, grand master of planning evaluation and co-author of one of the chapters in this collection, would have been pleased: under the able guidance of the editors, an excellent team of authors leaves past debates between rationalist and communicative planners behind; optimisation is simply of the essence of evaluation. The real issues addressed in this rich book, being the result of a sustained cooperative effort, relate to its scope and dimensions.' Andreas Faludi, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands 'If you need to keep abreast of recent developments in planning evaluation, this volume represents a useful investment.' Institute of Economic Development
