The bookprovides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary view of the major issuesand principal activities that occupy planning practitioners today. Issues ofsustainability and social equity are highlighted throughout, reflecting thebreadth of the authors’ planning expertise, theoretical positions and prac-tical experience. The book defines and contextualises planning in terms ofits theoretical, ideological and professional foundations. The history of thediscipline, its relationship to broader governance structures, and its legisla-tive framework as well as specific issues central to planning practice today areexplored and discussed.

Preface...................................................Susan Thompson
Planning Australia: An Overview of Urban and Regional Planning provides a com-prehensive and interdisciplinary view of the major issues and principal activi-ties that constitute urban and regional planning in Australia today. While nota ‘how-to-do-it’ manual, the emphasis is on contemporary practice, informedby theoretical developments in the discipline. The book does not advocateor adopt a singular ideological stance. Instead, it adopts a conceptual modelof planning that is holistic, interdisciplinary and, most importantly, under-pinned by the principles of sustainability and social equity. The contentsreflect the breadth of different authors’ planning expertise, theoretical posi-tions and practical experience.
Individually, the chapters provide wide-ranging introductions to key top-ics in the field. From these foundations, readers interested in exploring theissues further will be well placed to investigate other more detailed and spe-cialised commentaries and critiques on specific aspects of planning ideologyand practice. No prior knowledge about planning is assumed, and techni-cal and legislative terms are explained and defined. The book is illustratedthroughout with national examples and includes extensive references to facil-itate further study.
Initiated as a project of the Planning and Urban Development Program atthe University of New South Wales (UNSW), Planning Australia has evolvedas an edited collection with a wide cast of Australian planning academicsand practitioners. It is arguably the first comprehensive text covering thebreadth of key Australian planning issues to be published since Alfred Brownand Howard Sherrard’s classic Town and Country Planning appeared in 1951.Some 18 years later, John Shaw, Founding Professor of the School of TownPlanning at UNSW, joined these authors to write a second edition of thetext. Almost 40 years on, the connection with the university continues. Plan-ning Australia reflects shifting and newer concerns about the environment,culturally diverse communities, and the involvement of government in theprocesses and outcomes of planning.

Preface xxi
Planning Australia in fact appears at a critical time for urban and regionalplanning in this nation and beyond. Governments are moving away fromcentral involvement in the public sphere. There is a strong shift towardsprivatisation of services such as roads, public transport, health care, socialsecurity and public utilities. This trend is accompanied by an erosion ofthe urban public realm. This is also a time of unprecedented environmentaland social challenges. Many people in the community are worried aboutecological destruction, the impacts of globalisation, changing power bases,and the disenfranchisement of the poor and vulnerable. This book is writtenfor them and for those who want to better understand the planning system,its contexts, its operational modes and the avenues for effective and activeparticipation in the process.
