Making Space: Property Development and Urban Planning

by Andrew MacLaran (Editor)

Overview

Making Space Property studies the built environment by examining the private-sector forces responsible for its development and the urban planning systems put in place to influence, guide and manipulate its outcomes. The first part provides a theoretical context for understanding the functions of the property development sector and the states interventions through the medium of urban planning. The second part comprises case studies which investigate the ways in which urban planning in different socio-political contexts has influenced the outcomes of the property development process.
