Abstract

This report illustrates how places can be transformed through planning intervention. Planners and the planning system have to address many ‘wicked problems’ that arise when changes are proposed to local environments and places that defy easy solutions. Inevitably, almost any project deemed a success by some will be considered a failure by others, but through considering a number of case studies we show how planning can make a difference to economies, environments and livelihoods. We also draw general lessons from the cases for planning practice
