Mark the 25th anniversary in 2010 with 25 free article downloads Over the last decade, Planning Practice & Research (PPR) has established itself as the source for information on current research in planning practice. It is intended for reflective, critical academics, professionals and students who are concerned to keep abreast of and challenge current thinking. PPR is committed to: * bridging the gaps between planning research, practice and education, and between different planning systems * providing a forum for an international readership to discuss and review research on planning practice * the critical evaluation of practice and the progressive search for practical guidance * presenting research in an accessible, succinct style, not overly theoretical, but analytical PPR has carried articles on aspects of many different planning systems around the world. There is an increasing need to address research on planning practice and education on an international and comparative basis. Over the coming years PPR will be encouraging submission of further articles exploring the distinctive features of planning practice and policy in different countries. Thus PPR will meet the demand for a transnational exchange of ideas on planning systems and practice. PPR builds into a significant resource base for practitioners, researchers, teachers and students.

Planning Theory is an international ISI-indexed, peer-reviewed forum for exploring ideas concerned with a broad conception of spatial planning. Planning Theory provides an invaluable outlet for scholars who are interested in theoretical issues, whether they be debates around sustainability, or justice, or difference, or ethics, or power and knowledge.

Planning Theory & Practice provides an international focus for the development of theory and practice in spatial planning and a forum to promote the policy dimensions of space and place. Published in conjunction with the Royal Town Planning Institute, London, it publishes original articles and review papers from both academics and practitioners with the aim of encouraging more effective, two-way communication between theory and practice. The Editors invite robustly researched papers which raise issues at the leading edge of planning theory and practice, and welcome papers on controversial subjects. Authors are requested to draw out the wider significance of their particular contribution and to write in a clear style, accessible to a broad, international audience. The journal’s innovative Interface section promotes dialogue between the academic and practitioner communities, encouraging analytical reflection on practice and practical engagement with theory. Each issue of Interface offers a multifaceted investigation of a topical theme, in the form of a series of contributions reflecting on one issue from different perspectives. The journal's Comments and Reviews section comprises Policy & Planning Briefs, which provide critical insights into key policy developments and analysis of spatial plans, Book Reviews and Comments on a particular issue, such as rejoinders to articles previously published. The range of Planning Theory & Practice includes: • Defining the nature of spatial planning • Developing the theoretical and methodological foundations of planning • Developing the contributions of the planning field to social science, both analytically and normatively • Exploring the relationship between theory and practice, including reviews which examine emergent practices and interpret them in the light of current debates • Examining the contribution of planning practitioners to governance and public policy focused on the tensions between social, economic and environmental concerns • Shaping practice through critical reflection and review • Experiences of particular types of practice or of the development of policy in particular fields
