"With its mandate for promoting sustainable development and supporting economic development, regional planning has been the centre of some of the most important policy debates in English regionalism. This book focuses on recent regional policy and planning debates in all the English regions, using a range of theoretical insights to examine major controversies such as: resistance to new housing on greenfield sites, sustainable urban development and policies for 'urban renaissance', whether to redirect or constrain economic growth in pressure areas, how to support economic development in declining areas, how best to protect environmental assets for the future."--Jacket.
