It is important to understand the second layer of this reader. Rather than addressing the instrumental uses of Regulation and Planning, this exemplary collection of international experiences contextualizes these central concepts in a variety of social - material practices. The intelligence of planning and regulation arises in the overlapping social encounters of institution and agency in a plural environment.
- Willem Salet, University of Amsterdam
The issue of regulation is at the very core of planning theory and practice. Unfortunately, this aspect is too often taken as if it were obvious and already well-known. Refuting these assumptions, this intriguing book critically revisits various forms and dimensions of regulation. Rules are not taken to be black-box tools, but are instead re-discussed in terms of processes creating them, social meaning and multiple impacts. In this way, the book provides a welcome challenge to policy-makers and planners to pay more attention to certain crucial and constitutive aspects of their endeavours.

In Regulation and Planning, planning scholars from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Sweden, Canada, Australia, and the United States explore how planning regulations are negotiated amid layers of normative considerations. It treats regulation not simply as a set of legal guidelines to be compared against proposed actions, but as a social practice in which issues of governmental legitimacy, cultural understandings, materiality, and power are contested.
Each chapter addresses an actual instance of planning regulation including, among others, a dispute about a proposed Apple store in a public park in Stockholm, the procedures by which building codes are managed by planners in Napoli, the role that design plays in regulating the use of public space in a new Paris neighbourhood, and the influence of plans on the regulation of development in Malmoe and Cambridge. Collectively, the volume probes the institutions and practices that give meaning and consequence to planning regulations.
For planning students learning about what it means to plan, planning researchers striving to understand the influence of planners on urban development, and planning practitioners interested in reflecting on practices that occupy a great deal of their time, this is an indispensable book.
