The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

This report illustrates how places can be transformed through planning intervention. Planners and the planning system have to address many ‘wicked problems’ that arise when changes are proposed to local environments and places that defy easy solutions. Inevitably, almost any project deemed a success by some will be considered a failure by others, but through considering a number of case studies we show how planning can make a difference to economies, environments and livelihoods. We also draw general lessons from the cases for planning practice
