Politics and Conflict in Governance and Planning is a critical and much needed contribution to the planning literature and its incorporation of the post-politics and post-democracy debate.

Drawing on research from different parts of the world, several chapters provide nuanced understandings of planning as politics of place.’ - Simin Davoudi, Director of Global Urban Research Unit (GURU), Newcastle University, UK
