Description: This book brings together research findings and case studies of the ways in which the planning system relates to the needs and aspirations of black and ethnic minorities. Discussions of procedural innovations (such as monitoring) are complemented by analyses of the actual way planning and urban policy affects black and ethnic minority communities. A final chapter provides an instructive comparison with the contemporary position in Canada.

The book will be of interest to a professional and academic audience in planning and social policy.
