Regions and sustainable development: regional planning matters
Haughton, G.
Regions and sustainable development: regional planning matters - 2004 - Geographical Journal 170(2) June 2004, 135-145(11) .
Looks at how the term sustainable development has been used in the process of regional planning over the past decade. Emphasises the differing geographies of these debates within England, in terms of how sustainable development has been used to justify different types of approach in different parts of the country. Drawing on and challenging recent work on state theory, the paper argues the need to see regional planning as a part of a multi-scalar governance system, whose importance should not be underestimated. Tables and references. [Taken from journal abstract].
