description: This book examines a range of localized approaches to planning and policy as they emerge in England in the 1990s, situating the role of formal planning, and the development plan in particular, in addressing wider issues of local governance. It pioneers the empirical application of the institutionalist approach to policy analysis in relation to four policy areas--housing, economic development, transport, and waste--showing how such an approach can go beyond traditional analytical foci on organizations and procedural rules. The book combines conceptual innovation with detailed empirical evidence on issues of key current concern.
