Indicators for Urban and Regional Planning (eBook, ePUB)

The Interplay of Policy and Methods

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the measurement and utilisation of quantitative indicators in the urban and regional planning fields. There has been a resurgence of academic and policy interest in using indicators to inform planning, partly in response to the current government's information intensive approach to decision-making. The content of the book falls into three broad sections: indicators usage and policy-making; methodological and conception issues; and case studies of policy indicators.
