Conventional planning theory tends to assume a logical, rational and linear decision-making process, which bears little relationship to reality. This book aims to shed some light on that reality. The King's Cross scheme is one of the largest and most complex developments taking place in Britain today. The planning negotiations, which took six years, were probably some of the most exhaustive debates around a development ever. A report of over 600 pages of technical information was eventually presented to the committee, and after two evenings and ten hours of presentations and debate, the committee approved the scheme by just two votes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Bishop,Lesley Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859466354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859466353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riba Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 8.20w x 0.50d","brand":"Peter Bishop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659519209727,"sku":"9781859466353","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/planning-politics-and-city-making-peter-bishop-9781859466353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
