Learning from Other Countries: The Cross-National Dimension in Urban Policy Making

by I. Masser (Editor), Mrs Bernadette Williams (Editor), R. Williams (Editor)

Overview

Looking at the lessons we can learn from international research in urban and regional planning, this book explores the challenges in using cross-country studies.  The contributors address how to approach researching planning in other countries, and how to then diffuse the planning information.  Key topics include:

• comparable urban data, and how to use it
• working with international agencies
• methodological issues in cross-country research
• translating theory into practice

Case studies include researching new towns in France and Poland, and problems doing empirical work in Eastern Europe.
