Changeability in the british planning system

Authors

Abstract

The paper examines the ends and the changing content of the british urban planning system between 1969 and 1989. After an introduction detailing the historical roots of the system in the '40s, the paper moves on to consider the principal features of the two decades in question. The '70s are here held to have been a period in which, with its strategic briefing documents, an attempt was made to put Structure Plans into practice, this in a context of regional inequalities and sluggish local planning. The '80s are seen as having been marked by the attack on urban planning made by the Central Government with its backing of any de-regulating moves and favouring of free market forces. Despite this, the '90s are seen as showing a rebirth of a more positive thinking with respect to city planning. This in itself could be held to be part of a rediscovering of the importance that city planning has as part of any overall process of public administration favourable to enviromental change.
