Description: "This book examines a range of localised approaches to planning and policy as they emerged in England in the 1990s, situating the role of formal planning, and the development plan in particular, in addressing wider issues of local governance.

The book 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."--BOOK JACKET.
