- Summary
- "Race and Planning examines the operation of the planning system in a society where race is a major social divide. In the wake of the Macpherson Report, it is widely accepted that it is not enough for organisations to simply assume they are non-discriminatory; there must be an understanding of the dynamics of racial inequality and unfairness. What does this mean for planning?" "Drawing on a number of research studies of planning and urban policy, this book asks why racial equality has not been higher on professional and governmental agendas, and suggests strategies for those working for change. It considers key issues such as how planning activities might lead to more emphasis on the significance of racial equality; currently might it be unwittingly underpinning racial disadvantage? Alternatively, can planning help challenge racism and promote equal opportunities? The book's arguments are sensitive to the rapidly changing focus of the politics of race including: 'fortress Europe', Macpherson modernising planning and countering social exclusion. The book draws primarily on the British experience, but uses pertinent international comparisons."--Jacket.
