This book addresses a key issue for planners - how and why planning ideas and practices spread to different countries, and with what consequences.
Although there is no shortage of comparative studies in planning, surprisingly little attention has been given to its international diffusion, except by historians. There is a growing interest in this subject in the wider field of public policy in relation to both developed and developing countries. It is also beginning now to change within planning as researchers and practitioners recognise the limitations of seeing the urban impacts of globalisation in simplistic broad-brush terms and engage with the growing internationalisation of planning agendas, especially through the European Union.
Considering the implications for contemporary and future practice, this book will help planners today see how they might sensibly approach knowledge and policy transfer.
