"A thorough, engaging account of the dire state of planning in England and a welcome radical re-think of the way we plan. It will be essential reading for my planning students next year." Jessica Ferm, UCL "This should be the kind of book that launches a proper national debate on the role of planning." Planning Resource "Forcefully reminds us that real planning is essential to provide decent homes for everyone in well-designed places, underpinned by a planning system delivering equity across Britain" Peter Hetherington, TCPA chair and former regional affairs editor of The Guardian "Good planning matters to all of us. In this engaging book, Hugh Ellis and Kate Henderson offer timely critique of recent government reforms and some good ideas to help recapture the utopian spirit and purpose of planning in England." Ben Clifford, University College London
