It investigates the power-relationships and politics that underpin the allocation of land for large-scale residential schemes and the processes and politics that lead to particular development outcomes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing a comparative framework, it asks: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ehow different systems of urban governance and planning mediate the supply of land for housing; \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ewhether and how these system differences influence the location, quantity and price of residential land and the implications for housing outcomes;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ewhat can be learned from these different systems for allocating land, building consensus between different stakeholders, and delivering a steady supply of high quality and well located homes accessible to, and appropriate for, diverse housing needs. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book frames each case study in a comprehensive examination of national and territorial frameworks before dissecting key local cases. These local cases - urban renewal and greenfield growth centres in Australia, new towns and strategic sites in England, and major development schemes in Hong Kong - explore how broader urban planning and housing policy goals play out at the local level. While the book highlights a number of potential strategies for improving planning and housing delivery processes, the real challenge is to give voice to a broader array of interests, reconstituting the political process surrounding planning and housing development to prioritise homes in well-planned places for the many, rather than simply facilitating investment opportunities for the few.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicole Gurran,Nick Gallent,Rebecca Chiu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138937142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138937147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Nicole Gurran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457842721023,"sku":"9781138937147","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb8c2c37-dc6c-4ab0-955b-d01b38a12bc5.jpg?v=1777401244","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-planning-and-housing-supply-nicole-gurran-9781138937147","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
