- Summary:
-
"This book provides an overview of rural (sparial) planning for students on planning, geography and related programmes. It charts the major patterns and processes of rural change affecting the British countryside, its landscape, its communities and its economies in the twentieth century. The authors examine the role of 'planning' in shaping rural spaces, not only the statutory 'comprehensive' planning that emerged in the post-war period, hut also planning and rural programme delivery undertaken by central, regional and local policy agencies." "Introduction to Rural Planning provides comprehensive coverage of the forces, processes and outcomes of rural change whilst keeping planning's influence and role in clear view at all times."--BOOK JACKET.
